We're a small, local team that loves climbing and feels pretty lucky to call Southern Utah home.

​

We created this festival to share what makes this place special—from the world class climbing crags, varied landscapes in our "little" corner of Utah to the people and local businesses that make our community what it is.

​

The 2026 St. George Climbing Festival features hands-on learning, indoor and outdoor climbing opportunities, education, local businesses, and so many ways to connect with other climbers.

​

Presented by Contact Climbing Gym in partnership with The Desert Rat and Greater Zion, the festival celebrates the people, places, and organizations that make Southern Utah such a unique destination.
