We’re returning to North Conway, NH for the second fall in a row for the newly named Flash Foxy Trad Fest! Why did we change the name? As a compliment to our Bishop event which is primarily bouldering and sport climbing with a little trad climbing, our North Conway event will be primarily trad climbing with some bouldering and top roping. Also, so that we can say: TRAD FEST IS GONNA BE A RAD FEST!!!!
The kid sibling to our flagship Flash Foxy Climbing Festival in Bishop, Trad Fest is a three-day climbing event for women and genderqueer climbers of all ages taking place in North Conway, NH. We hope that the Flash Foxy Trad Fest will not only reach veteran climbers but also provide a safe space for beginner climbers to come and learn more about all that climbing has to offer! While this event will focus on trad climbing (aka traditional climbing), there will also be opportunities for top roping and bouldering!
Flash Foxy Trad Fest welcomes women and genderqueer climbers to join us at this event. Our goal is to create and maintain a safe and diverse space where consent and respect are our first priorities. Harassment of any kind (unwanted contact, verbal or physical abuse, racism, homophobia, transphobia, body-shaming, etc.) will NOT be tolerated and will lead to being asked to leave.
