olyclimber Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 This definitely sounds like a great party with great weather and presented by some folks who have been taking care of Washington climbers for years. Definitely get there if you can!
AAC-PNW Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) There's nothing quite like having a bunch of your friends in one spot, meeting new ones over a bbq, then watching a great slideshow under the stars on an organic farm. Thanks everyone for coming out to Rockfest in beautiful Leavenworth - we'll be back next year! Much thanks to Northwest Mountain School and LEAVENWORTH MOUNTAIN SPORTS for their logistical support, Mountain Gear, Petzl and Black Diamond Equipment Ltd for their continued support and the rest of our sponsors who so generously donated to the raffle and auction to help the AAC continue our work supporting climbers in the Pacific Northwest. And special high fives to Cat, Dana and John for adding their wonderful personalities to the event! Stay tuned for the event pictures. Edited June 17, 2013 by AAC-PNW
