THE ARC’TERYX CLIMB ACADEMY IS BACK

The 2024 Arc'teryx Climb Academy is back for its 17th year, and they invite you to celebrate climbing culture in the world-class destination of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, B.C., on August 23rd.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Squamish, BC, this is your place to join the mountain running and climbing communities - no matter your skill level. From clinics taught by top athletes to film premieres and live music, it's three days of inspiration, education, and community.

The Clinic line-up was released TODAY and clinics range from sport climbing to multi-pitch techniques to a women's retreat and so much more. Each clinic is a full day of hands-on practical experience led by Arc'teryx athletes working closely with ACMG certified instructors and guides. Spots are limited and they fill up fast - make sure to mark your calendar for May 9th at 12pm PDT to lock in your spot. Click to start previewing clinics today! 

The Sharp End Mini Series: Share Your Story!

Hi friends! I am starting to work on a new type of content project for The Sharp End and am now accepting volunteers to share their story!

I would like to feature mini conversations where listeners can submit a brief description of what happened and a 3-7 minute audio recording during their near miss or accident while out in the backcountry. Please fill out this form if you are interested in sharing your near miss! Recordings can be submitted to: thesharpendpodcast@gmail.com

Your vulnerability is SO appreciated and could be instrumental in saving someone’s life. THANK YOU!
