The Palouse Climbing Festival will return on Saturday, March 1 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for all climbing lovers to join and attend!
Compete with some of the region’s best climbers at the Student Recreation Center and show off your climbing skills. The Palouse Climbing Festival hopes to connect with and inspire climbers in the Northwest through some friendly competition.
At last year’s Climbing Festival, there were contestants from UI, EWU, CWU, Whitman College and more. Secure your spot before it fills up!
According to Hans Zander, the Interim Assistant Director of the Outdoor Program, “The festival is open to all experience levels. We encourage people who may not be ready to compete fully to show up and observe some amazing climbing.”
Register here and pay the $40 entry fee ahead of time.
The UI Climbing Center is open throughout the year to climbers of all skills levels and even offers many courses on climbing basics if it’s something you want to try out! If you’re interested in climbing, check out the Climbing Center in the SRC or attend the Palouse Climbing Festival this Saturday to experience what the climbing community is all about.
“The Palouse climbing festival is a great way to connect with local climbers and have a friendly competition. We encourage everyone who is interested to come and climb that day,” Zander said.
