Slug Fest is BACK and it is going to be bigger and better!

To make this event accessible for everyone, registration is only $30! Registration includes registration swag!  It also includes Clinics, Bouldering Comp, shoe/gear demos, yoga, camping, access to vendor village and industry reps, bonfires, trivia, silent auction, and pro-athlete poster signing. Camping on site will be limited to the first 200 people that select camping as part of registration. 

We are also stoked that this year will have pro-climbers in attendance teaching clinics, doing a poster signing, and hanging out! As this is a cool opportunity, these are the only clinics with a cost (only $20 to learn from a 5.15 climber!). 

This event is a fundraiser to support UP Climbing. In the spirit of a fundraiser, registration is not refundable. If the weather isn't conducive to climbing, we will still have camping, clinics, silent auction, frivolity, and plenty of other activities. We will also have plenty of tarps to make the bouldering wall usable in a moderate rain. 

If you register and cannot attend, and if you purchased a shirt or poster, we will be happy to mail them to you (if you cover shipping), or they can be picked up from Down Wind Sports.

You need to register by September 1 for your shirt to be guaranteed ready at Slug Fest registration. Those registering after September 1, may have to receive the shirt by picking it up at a Down Wind Sports location (or you can pay to have it mailed!).
