International Climbers’ Festival
This year’s International Climbers’ Festival will be held July 9th - 13th, 2008 in the classic mountain town of Lander, Wyoming. Lander is home to some spectacular rock climbing, and is well worth a week’s visit.
This year marks the 15th year of the Climbers’ Festival--a great event with a myriad of opportunities for learning skills, meeting other climbers, demo-ing gear, and nightly entertainment. Jackson Hole Mountain Guides offers climbing rescue clinics on both weekend days, as we have for many years.
Proceeds from the festival support three local Lander scholarships and programs, including the Jim Ratz Memorial Scholarship, which sponsors 2 local students on a Grand Teton climb with us every summer. Jim was a Jackson Hole Mountain Guides owner for several years, and his tradition of safe, fun climbing is carried on with this scholarship.
Tickets are a great deal at $40 per adult and $20 per kid. Get the full lowdown on the International Climbers’ Festival website.
