No experience is required to participate and all ages are welcome! Climbers will be required to sign a waiver prior to participating in the event.

Climbers will meet in front of the Boulder Theater for check-in at 9:00 am on Sunday. We will then drive approximately 15 minutes to the climbing area. You’ll get to climb for 3 hours on a series of walls aimed at different abilities, from easy beginner ascents to intermediate climbs that will test strength and fortitude.

The event cost is only $10 but you must pre-register by phone and pay the $10 fee at that time. You will be charged a $50.00 cancellation fee if you cancel.

Adventure Film Festival:
The Adventure Film Festival was created in 2004 by the legendary climber, photographer and storyteller Jonny Copp (1974-2009). It all started as a dream in the heart of the Himalayas. In a tent during a storm, on a handful of scratch paper, Jonny sketched out his vision of a community-based, mission-oriented, outdoor adventure festival that tied indie film with art and activism. Jonny believed in the power of storytelling, especially through the narrative of adventure, with the goal to awaken change and encourage others to challenge and improve the world we live in. With the help of friends, family and industry professionals, this gritty “down home” event is now an internationally recognized arena for the most inspiring adventure and environmental films of the year.

Adventure Film Festival’s compelling line-up is handpicked by a dedicated, Boulder-based selection committee from over 300 entries submitted from all over the world. With the support of filmmakers, sponsors, non-profits, partners, volunteers—all adventurers — Adventure Film Festival hosts a World Tour traveling from Boulder to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, DC, Chile, Tasmania, India, Nepal, and several major cities in between.

“We believe in the power of the story, especially the narrative of adventure and awakening, to change and challenge the world we live in. We hope you will join us in celebrating the fantastic and, even more importantly, true stories of people and passion.”
