JUNE 23: THE 1ST ANNUAL KOOTENAY CLIMBING FESTIVAL
On Saturday, June 23, get a grip on your local climbing scene & join TAWKROC for the
1ST ANNUAL KOOTENAY CLIMBING FESTIVAL
which will be held behind the Lion’s Head Pub in Robson, near Castlegar.
The event will start at 3pm in the back parking lot of the Lion’s Head (2629 Broadwater Rd) and will include rope work and anchor clinics by ACMG-certified climbing guides, zip-lining and climbing on the portable wall for the kids, slacklining, bouldering and playing on the dozen routes at Pub Wall (which range from 5.8 to 5.11).
The festival will also feature the TOWER OF POWER competition during which contestants stack milk crates as high as they can…while standing on them. See below for a video of “milk crating.”
At 6pm we’ll move inside the pub for drinks, food, movies and presentations.
Attendance is by donation. All proceeds will go to the bolt fund created by TAWKROC (The Association of West Kootenay Rock Climbers) that will be used to put up new outdoor routes in the area and retro-bolt old routes.
If you want to contribute videos, stories or photos, contact us. We pay for premium videos and articles.

Sounds like fun! Can I bring my kids? Will they be allowed to watch the movies/presentations in the pub?
