It was a great event, the weather looked pretty ominous at first, but then it cleared up and we had some nice sunshine. It was the biggest year yet, we had about 94 registrants altogether. There were some very good climbers cranking some of the most classic problems in the valley. The "Hardcore Session" was a blast and even though no problems were sent, some inspiring pulling went down.<br />Check back soon for a short video of the festival!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30468508-7753281710975127295?l=yukonbouldering.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12516143914661369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30468508.post-23798955798332379802008-07-29T19:53:00.000-07:002008-07-29T20:13:20.915-07:00Alright, here's the scoop on this year's festival, Sunday, Aug. 3rd. The festival kicks off at 10AM but if your vehicle won't make it over the rough road into the boulders then plan to be at the gravel pit (see map below) by 9AM to catch a shuttle in.<br />The cost is the same as last year: $10 for adults, $5 for kids. This includes a hearty, all-you-can-eat meal with vegetarian and vegan options.<br />This year's schedule is much like last year's (scroll down to view) with a few exciting changes. This is the first year we have an open catagory. The open climbers will climb after everyone else so we can all watch and cheer them on. We're hoping to see some good projects sent. :)<br />Also, we'll have a high line and slack line this year. The band will be back again and better than ever as will the grizzly-grip competition. Oh yes, and our sponsors are coming through with some great prizes! <br />See ya there!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30468508-2379895579833237980?l=yukonbouldering.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12516143914661369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30468508.post-36730258200246077292008-06-22T15:36:00.000-07:002008-06-22T16:08:50.858-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7XlKrV-nI/AAAAAAAAACo/xWk0ovi-Kk4/s1600-h/IMG_0621.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7XlKrV-nI/AAAAAAAAACo/xWk0ovi-Kk4/s200/IMG_0621.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214842452062894706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7Wak4ROMI/AAAAAAAAACg/CS3NztGQO9w/s1600-h/IMG_8949.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7Wak4ROMI/AAAAAAAAACg/CS3NztGQO9w/s200/IMG_8949.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214841170606241986" border="0" /></a> Music by Brent, Becky, Ethan, &amp; Lee - Grizzly Grip Competition<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7bI393YAI/AAAAAAAAADA/jpfA2JBkgeM/s1600-h/IMG_8878.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7bI393YAI/AAAAAAAAADA/jpfA2JBkgeM/s200/IMG_8878.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214846364050481154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7UiMwZDkI/AAAAAAAAACY/KnSjZxv_4uc/s1600-h/DSC01406.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l73ps99DZGU/SF7UiMwZDkI/AAAAAAAAACY/KnSjZxv_4uc/s200/DSC01406.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214839102546447938" border="0" /></a><br /> "La Escuela" - "Fred's Traverse"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30468508-3673025820024607729?l=yukonbouldering.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12516143914661369444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30468508.post-11703566862722015222008-06-16T10:25:00.000-07:002008-06-16T10:41:40.733-07:00Greetings.

Also thank you very much to all our sponsors. Finally, thanks to everyone who showed up and cranked hard... we hope you all had a great time.

Craig brings a wealth of expertise and lore through his 40 odd years of living and breathing climbing. It is his third climbing visit to the Yukon; his other visits involved first ascents at the Rock Gardens, Golden Canyons and an attempt on Logan.<br /><br />Another possible guest is the venerable Will Gadd, master mixed climber and paraglider.
