Cascadeclimbers.com 2011 Photo Contest presented by American Alpine Institute

Thats right! It's back and badder then ever! This year we have over $2000 in prizes.

 

We haven't had our photo contest since 2007. If you happened to miss that one check out the 2007 Photo Contest.

 

This years contest is presented by American Alpine Institute and they have generously donated $1000 in gift certificates for guided trips or classes in the northwest. AAI is located in Bellingham and have some of the best guides in the world, many of whom post here on cc.com. You can find more about their their various programs here.

 

Other generous sponsors include Pro Mountain Sports, Seattle Bouldering Project, and Backcountry Gear.

 

Speaking of Seattle Bouldering Project, if you haven't heard about them they recently opened in May. It's Seattle's new bouldering only gym and I believe it is one of the largest in the US.
