WinterFest 2025

Looking for a spring primer on your trad skills? Building on our partnership with the Gravity Vault, we are happy to be bringing back our WinterFest.

Our full-day event will be packed with hands-on clinics like: anchor building/cleaning, self-rescue, rapelling, falling and committment, crack climbing and a reprise of the sold-out Fall GunksFest Seconding Clinic.

These master classes will be taught by an all-star roster of local guides and will be offered on a rotating schedule throughout the day. A General Admission ticket entitles you to two clinics for free!

Last year's clinics sold out incredibly fast, and with limited slots per clinic be sure to book yours now.

To close our event we’ll have a pizza party and Evening Social sponsored by Rock and Snow.

P lease make sure you purchase the correct tickets. When purchasing tickets, you must purchase a General Admission ticket, and then select up to 2 add-on clinics (free with General Admission). If you do not purchase a General Admisssion ticket, any clinics you sign up for will be cancelled. Any person selecting more than 2 clinics will be removed from the extra clinics.

Pay attention to the time and length of your clinics to make sure they do not overlap.

♿️ Accessible event

Info: Our afterparty will start at 6pm with a pizza party. The GCC will give an update on its current projects, and everyone is encouraged to spend time getting to know other climbers, finding future partners, etc. We will not be screening any films this year.
