GO Climbing Fest: Community Climbing Event & Competition
Saturday, March 8
Portsmouth, NH | Salt Pump Portsmouth aka The Donut Factory | 199 Constitution Ave
GO Climbing Fest is designed to provide a welcome space for newer climbers and plentiful challenges and fun for veteran climbers too. Separate qualifying sessions are scheduled for kids and their parents/guardian and for women, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming climbers. An open-to-all session will round out the qualifying rounds, followed by finals. Pre-registered competitors get a free burrito made by our friends at Vida Cantina for lunch! Plus we'll have a vendor village, raffle, prizes, and more in store throughout the day as we celebrate an amazing first year here in Portsmouth with our entire climbing community. We'll see you here!

Spectators welcome at no additional charge. Waivers are required for anyone in the facility; regardless of if you're climbing or not.
