Reel Rock Weekend

Reel Rock Weekend is hosted by Vertical Relief Climbing Center

Vertical Relief organized this event to give back to the climbing community and one of the most used and abused crags in Northern Arizona, The Pit. With the help of the Northern Arizona Climbers coalition (sponsor of The Pit trail work event), Carrie Cooper (New Zealand Bouldering Slideshow event at Vertical Relief) and Reel Rock Film Tour (climbing films at The Orpheum Theatre) we hope to give you one last great weekend of climber fun before summer is over. Show your support of local climbing by volunteering your time working on the trails at The Pit and enjoy the fun at the other events!

Vertical Relief wants to thank you for being the best climbing community anywhere! This is also VR's 14th birthday. Thank you for making us a success! Have fun at the events!
