It's 5-O'Clock somewhere…
Get your ice tools (and beach towels) ready. Our fall community competition is our favorite way to kick off the season, and this year we’re making it an ode to the O.G. chiller, Jimmy Buffet. Join us for a fun, laid-back, redpoint-style competition at the Ice Coop on November 8!
This competition will feature our Citizens category—which is open to recreational climbers and those who have never participated on a national team—as well as our Elite category.
Routes will be set for all ability levels, and rental gear is available on site.
