CORE PREMIERE April 15th 7-9PM PE275


The U of L Climbing Club is proud to present "CORE". We are part of the exclusive international film tour of this groundbreaking climbing film. The film will show at 7PM on April 15th at the U of L in room PE275, upstairs from the climbing wall.

***Tickets go on sale March 24th at Ascent Climbing Centre***

***$10 for the public ***
***$5 for club members***
***Free for Boulderfest problem setters***

CORE goes to the heart of climbing. Join an international cast of the sport's most dedicated athletes as they stick it when it matters most. Shot in 35mm Ultra High Definition, get ready to see every detail of some of the nastiest pieces of rock ever climbed.

CORE exposes the contrast in landscape and lifestyle that defines the sport. A close examination of each character offers perspective beyond just their achievements on the stone.

Be there, in the moment, as a 5.14 traditional route gets its first ascent. See the actual first ascent footage from Livin Large, Nalle Hukkataival's monster 8C. See first ascent footage from Fred Nicole's hardest-ever project in Switzerland. These are the moments and the athletes that define our sport, captured in Cinema-quality 4K Ultra High Definition.

Boulderfest Update

Hey everyone! Only ten more days until Boulderfest! I'm personally encouraging everyone to get signed up for this event. It is without a doubt one of the funniest events on campus. We will have our crew of route setters putting up 45+ fresh problems with cleaned holds but also some brand new holds from soillholds.com. Then on March 20th you get to come down with all your climbing amigos and put yourself to the test. The atmosphere is always amazing with tons of super enthusiast climbers, sick music, wicked problems followed by an award ceremony where we give away hundreds of dollars for gear/swag. (we have lots and lots of prizes, everyone will likely walk away with something)

Keep in mind, Boulderfest is called Boulderfest for a reason. It is a festival not specifically a competition. Sure we hand out score sheets but you are not obligated to hand it in at the end. If you just climb for yourself and have no interest in where you stack up thats totally cool, we get that. Prizes are also going to be distributed at random so the strongest climbers aren't going to walk away with all the amazing prizes. This event is for all climbers from people fresh out of the intro course to people who have been climbing for decades.

You can go down to the climbing wall at any time and pay your sign up fee at the desk. It is $15 for club members and $20 for the public. There are also two time slots to sign up for. One goes from 12:00pm till 2:00pm and the other goes from 2:00pm till 4:00pm. Also keep in mind those are the times that the event will start SO PLEASE BE 15 MINS EARLY.

Thanks! I hope to see your smiling faces on March 20th! Go to www.boulderfest.info for more info.
