Quadra Rocks Climbing Festival - schedule
Here's a bit of a game plan for the weekend festivities. The focus here is of course on discovering and climbing on the Quadra Crags and sharing the connections of the island climbining community. Local climbers will be out and about through the weekend to chat and point visitors in the right direction.
A raffle will be held with a prize of a new route first ascent - the draw will be held at Sunday lunchtime close by to the prize routes!
We had an idea for a 'Most Vertical Climbed' contest but worried it might ditract from socializing and other gatherings/events but keep that in mind - let's berainstorm ideas of how that might work and other fun things for next year. Most of all please enjoy Quadra, the great climbing and atmosphere here. Please be responsible with pets, litter and your 'waste'.
