Hi Neighbors! We want to invite you to the 12th Annual Smuggs Ice Bash, with a kick-off party at Petra Cliffs Climbing Center (105 Briggs St) on Friday!
Friday evening:
Friday will feature a climbing competition which is spectator friendly, public climbing demos, dumplings by The Dumpling Dude VT, live music by DJ Kanganade, and a huge outdoor gear raffle to benefit our local climbing access organization, CRAG-VT! $5 entry.
(Neighbors, we do expect that guests will utilize a lot of street parking on Friday. We have reached out to as many guests as possible so far about responsible parking. Please know that we do expect guests to follow signs and parking rules or consequences may be enforced).
Saturday evening:
The festival welcomes two incredible presenters: Erik Weihenmayer, a blind adventurer who has summited the 7 Summits including Mt. Everest, kayaked 277 miles on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, has climbed El Capitan in Yosemite, and much more. He lives and promotes a No Barriers Life, with the motto, "what's within you is stronger than what's in your way."
Erik's motivational presentation will be opened by VT local Mark Puleio, an Internationally Certified Mountain Guide, husband and father of three. Mark will delve into the allure of mountain mystique and tell a visual story of humans interacting with mountains and his experiences as an international mountain guide.
