The North Face is set to host the 'Climb Festival' at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City, a premier event celebrating climbing and culture.
This festival will feature a range of activities including "DJ sets, exclusive merchandise, freestanding boulders, bouldering walls, and engaging panel discussions." Attendees can look forward to a dynamic competition, where climbers will test their skills on a "55-foot wall, with the challenge of only deep water to cushion their falls." Participants can register in either the 'Open' or 'Paraclimbing' categories.
In addition to the climbing events, the festival will offer opportunities to explore and enjoy music, merchandise, and informative panels. As the final stop of the festival series, which commenced in Shanghai earlier in July, the New York City event promises to deliver a comprehensive and exhilarating experience for both seasoned climbers and enthusiasts alike.
