On Saturday, September 16, 2017 climbers from far and wide will congregate in Frank Slide to enjoy a day of bouldering in Canada's greatest limestone bouldering area! Come out to climb with old friends and meet new ones while pulling down on some of the best problems that Frank Slide has to offer!
The Tour de Frank is equal parts celebration of climbing, festival, and competition! The emphasis, however, is entirely on having fun. As always, the Tour de Frank is a free event! If you have climbed outside for decades, or if you have only been climbing a handful of times and just want to climb outside with your friends, come to the Tour de Frank on Saturday, September 16.
The TdF Information Package can be found HERE. It contains almost everything you need to know about the event; where it is, when it starts, and how it is going down! A few details will be announced on the morning of the event, but the Information Package will get you to the event!
All participants will sign a brief waiver when they show up (it doubles as your registration and ticket for the stacks of draw prizes we have). IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, you / your guardian(s) will need to sign a long-form waiver, which you can find HERE. If you are under 18 and will be showing up at the event with your parent, don't worry, we'll have copies there.
We have a stack of prizes from our amazing sponsors this year! Grand Wall Equipment, Flashed Climbing, Awesome Adventures, Osprey Packs, Outdoor Research (OR), Friction Labs, and Static Chalk Bags have all contributed to the prizes!
We've partnered with Outside All Day (thanks Kiefer!) not only as a sponsor, but to bring sweet Frank Slide T-shirts to the Tour de Frank! If you want one of the amazing Frank Slide Bouldering Tees, bring a little cash to the event!
Excitingly, we have prize packs from local gyms to give away this year, with Rock Jungle Fitness (Edmonton), ARQ Mountain Centre (Cranbrook), Bolder Climbing (Calgary), Calgary Climbing Centre (Calgary) and Trailhead (Red Deer) all supporting the 2017 TdF!
A few things to remember as you get ready to drive to the TdF....
- Bring lots of water, especially if it is hot outside!
- Bring a jacket and hat; the weather can be hot / windy / cold / etc., and can change rapidly in the Crowsnest Pass!
- We're going to have t-shirts for sale! Like I said!
- It is important that climber-related impacts to the Slide are reduced to zero! Visit the toilet before you hit up the TdF (the bathrooms at the Visitor Center are deluxe), and don't litter!
See you there!
