Touchstone 15h Anniversary and Bouldering Comp Touchstone Climbing will once again be hosting the Touchstone Bouldering Series this fall. This season, we will kick off the series with a special Saturday comp at Berkeley Ironworks to celebrate the gym's 10th anniversary, as well as Touchstone's 15th. The Ironworks comp/party will be from 11-5 this Saturday the 28st of August.

Andy & Cindy's Thai will be providing the food. There will be a ton of curries, chicken skewers, etc. There will be vegan and gluten free food for the vegan athletes who want to stay fueled and still crush. Kind Bars, Guyaki Organic Yerba Mate, Bear Naked Granola, Clif Bar and more will be there giving out free samples. A raffle will be held with all of the proceeds from the $1 tickets going to the Access Fund. With great prizes from Mt. Hardwear and Touchstone, the raffle will be awesome. There will be an onsight final with the top 5 competitors from the men's and women's advanced categories receiving CASH PRIZES!

  GWPC Surgical Climb-A-Thon On November 18th at 6PM, GWPC, in partnership with the Bay Area Surgical Mission, is proud to sponsor the first ever Surgical Climb-A-Thon. What's this about? The Bay Area Surgical Mission, a group of volunteer physicians and nurses, travels each year to the Philippines to offer free surgical care to indigenous populations. The physicians who go on these missions donate their time as well as pay their own travel costs. All proceeds from the Climb-A-Thon go directly toward the purchase of medications, sutures, and bandages. $10 entry in the competition buys food and (alcoholic) beverage. Or better yet, you can get people to sponsor you per climb or at a flat rate and receive free entry into the event. Amazing prizes from Mountain Hardwear, Wrench Science, GWPC and other local businesses will be awarded to the individual who collects the most money in sponsorship as well as for the most vertical feet climbed, hardest route climbed, best nurse costume, etc. You can pick up a sponsorship packet at GWPC’s front desk. Tell a friend!
