Global Climbing Day - 8/24
Climbing isn’t about the grades, the difficulty, the view or the summit. At the heart of our sport, we find that climbing is all about relationships. It provides us a platform to relate to ourselves, to our environment, and most importantly, to those around us. Climbing has overwhelmingly enriched our lives and it’s our mission to provide others with the same opportunity.
We’ve teamed up with The North Face and climbing gyms across the globe to celebrate inclusivity and community through climbing. On August 24th, from 12-3pm at both PeakMIDLO and PeakRVA, we'll be celebrating Global Climbing day. We invite everyone to come try 3 climbs, absolutely free of charge. Furthermore, we’ll be donating $5 from every Day Pass and Climbing Sampler we sell that day to one of our favorite local organizations, Blue Sky Fund. We hope that you’ll join us!
