Written by Allison Kennedy Davies.

Living along the Niagara Escarpment, we’re blessed with some of the best climbing terrain in the East. In 2013, Jennie Elmslie of Free Spirit Tours and Leslie Timms of On The Rocks Climbing teamed up to host the first ever Beaver Valley Climbing Festival. It drew hundreds and raised thousands for the Ontario Access Coalition – a non-profit organization that works with the climbing community, landowners, conservation authorities and property managers to keep climbing and bouldering areas open in an environmentally responsible manner. The Festival returns for its third year on Saturday, July 11 in the heart of the Beaver Valley.

Events range from traditional and sport climbing competitions to climbing clinics and workshops, yoga, caving, slacklining, health workshops, bike demos, massage therapy, an Aerial Silks performance, and youth programs. On-site vendors will be selling everything from climbing gear to jewellery.

 

 

Activities run from around 9:30am to 4:30pm. The festival then heads to nearby Rob Roy where the party continues with dinner catered by The Flying Chestnut; live bands; raffles, games with prizes and more. Camping available on-site for a small fee.

All details here. Headline sponsors: On the Rocks Climbing, Bolderz Climbing Centre, Climbers Corner. Major Sponsors: MEC, The Landscape Company, True North Climbing, Living in Balance, Creative Paradox Photography, Alpine Club Toronto, Flashed. Prize sponsors include: G6 Climbing, Outland Adventure Gear, Free Spirit Tours, MEC, Patagonia, La Sportiva.

Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
