The kid sibling to our flagship Flash Foxy Climbing Festival in Bishop, the Flash Foxy Trad Fest is a three-day climbing event for women and genderqueer climbers of all ages with rotating locations every 3-5 years. As a compliment to our Bishop event which is primarily bouldering and sport climbing with a little trad climbing, the Flash Foxy Trad Fest is primarily trad climbing with some bouldering and top roping.
This is our first year in Mammoth Lakes, CA, and we're excited to be on the East Side for an epic weekend of community building, skill sharing, and play! We hope that the Flash Foxy Trad Fest will not only reach experienced climbers but also provide a safe space for beginner climbers to come and learn more about all that climbing has to offer. We held this festival in Chattanooga from 2017 to 2019 and in North Conway, NH from 2022-2024. We hope that moving our location every few years will allow new folks to attend the event and grow our community!
