We'd like to take a minute to express our sincere gratitude for all of our sponsors who helped make this year's Beaver Valley Climbing Festival a huge success!

There was sunshine, rain, booming thunder... But also lots of laughter, campfires, dancing, and raffle prizes to be had! 

A big thanks in particular to @lasportivana for being our title sponsor, and helping us bring back the BVCF with a bang 🎉

Send some love to @icerivergreenbottleco for keeping us hydrated throughout the weekend 🚰 and to @bakedandpickled for keeping us fed 🌮

A huge shout-out to @accyyz for coming out despite the rain and setting up topropes on BOTH Saturday and Sunday for eager climbers ❤️

And a big round of applause for @muskokamountainworks for running their clinics and providing some entertaining challenges 🥶

@100purediscoshit and @filmandevent helped save the day with tents to shelter us from the rain, in addition to keeping us dancing well into the night 🕺

And we all know, it wouldn't be the #bvcf2024 without PRIZES from our famous raffle.. a big thank you to all of our sponsors who donated to keep the excitement high! @rab.equipment.na @patagoniatoronto @scarpana @mec_toronto @outdoorresearch @orgearco @ontarioresoles @seatosummit @evolv_worldwide @wildcountry_official #SterlingRope @janymitges 

Festival goers, please check your email for our feedback survey 📨  Help us make next year even better!

Thank you all, we look forward to seeing you at #bvcf2025 😉

It's almost game time 🎉

Make sure to check out the @mec_toronto table at this weekend's Beaver Valley Climbing Festival!  They'll be sure to have some swag for you... And some sweet prizes for the raffle 🎟️

The weather is still looking a little wet, but with much less rainfall than what was forecast earlier. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather system continues to weaken, we're optimistic about Saturday morning being climbable!

Tickets are still available at the link in our bio 🔗. See you all soon!
