Photos by John Evans This is not your typical climbing festival. Over 500 people participated in the climbing clinics taught by guides and some of the worlds best climbers. Over 1000 people attended the festival with folks traveling from across the country and around the world. Presented by Mountain Gear and sponsored by The North Face, the festival returned to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area near Las Vegas on March 28-30 to benefit The Access Fund and other local and national non-profit organizations.
