27th International Climbers’ Festival…

2020 would have been the 27th International Climbers’ Festival…but with heavy hearts we are cancelling this year’s event after multiple attempts to reschedule, scale-down, and adapt the festival to make things as safe as possible for our participants and our community. When COVID trends took a steep upward turn in late June and early July, we became increasingly aware that our hopes of carrying on with traditions weren’t as important as protecting people’s health and lives. This year we will have to celebrate climbing and community from wherever we are, instead of gathering together. It’s a sobering and humbling year, hopefully helping us all recall what is most important to us. Remember to be thankful for what you have and where you are and who you have around you - don’t take climbing or anything else for granted!

We look forward to gathering back together again here in Lander in 2021. We’ll hopefully have a lot to celebrate by then!
