Festival info
We’re working hard to get the 2023 program ready!
In the meantime here is an idea of what to expect:
July
14-16th
2023
SQUAMISH
Location
BASE CAMP
39555 Loggers Lane
Squamish, BC
V8B 0H3
We will meet Friday early evening at the Loggers Sports Grounds, on the eastern limit of Squamish, BC, and just a five minute drive from the quaint downtown. Here we will host camping and evening entertainment. There is lots of parking space (you will also have the option to camp in your vehicle), running potable water and toilets. You will be required to bring your own camping equipment.
CLINICS
Smoke Bluffs Parking
Squamish, BC
V0N 1T0
Our clinics will be held in the Smoke Bluffs, a 10 minute pleasant walk from the campsite. The park offers a huge selection of easy-access high quality crags – with routes from 5.4 to 5.13d – some bolted and others requiring traditional protection to lead. Many of the crags have safe access to the top to set up top ropes. In the event of rain, most clinics will still run, as we can shelter under overhangs and focus on technical systems and discussion. The Bluffs face south and are exposed to the wind, so some climbs are dry within minutes after the rain!
