Thank you for an awesome 2023 Craggin’ season!

The Craggin’s are a party with a heart. Play hard on world-class rock, revel and frolic with your climbing community, learn some new skills, and give back to the crag—at the biggest climbing festival series in the US!

At the AAC, our focus is: Climb. Protect. Educate. Connect. The Craggin’s epitomize all four of these goals in one weekend. Connect with climbers from every background around the campfire, level up your technical skills in clinics led by professional guides and pro athletes, and participate in stewardship projects to preserve these landscapes we all love. Finish off the weekend with some stellar movement over stellar stone, and you’ll have found the heart of climbing. 

Each event offers films, presentations, vendor villages, local food, and craft beer. Best of all, connect with new friends and old, locals and travelers, seasoned rock-wranglers and climbers just learning to climb outdoors. Celebrate and connect with what inspires your climbing. 

Join the Craggin’ Classic community—you belong here!
