Update! Because of the major technological glitch that had Chicks Climbing down for more than 5 days last week, we are EXTENDING the contest entry window for a chance to win a one-day pass to our upcoming weekend skills clinic until Friday, Sept. 3! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to win a FREE SPOT and get top-notch climbing instruction!

We are psyched for our upcoming trip to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin! So much so, that we want to encourage more climbers of BOTH the male and female type to come out and join us at our co-ed weekend skills clinic Sept. 11-12 with two one-day clinic giveaways!

At the co-ed weekend skills clinic, which precedes the full Chicks Rock! experience Sept. 13-16, our infamous Girly Guides will be giving clinics on topics such as:

• - Intro to trad leading (Saturday)
• - Working a project/red point tactics (Saturday)
• - Anchors (Sunday)
• - Intro to multi-pitch (Sunday)

The cost for one of these clinics, which run from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., is $100 per day; or $180 total if you sign up for the full weekend.

But, because we are ready to rock in Wisconsin, and want to see some men take advantage of this opportunity to learn from some of the best guides in the world, we are giving away a total of two passes to one of these full-day clinics!

So, how’s this contest going to go down? Well, we want you to get creative! In order to enter the contest you must submit a photo of an artistic creation you design, or capture with some climbing related piece(s) of gear on our Facebook page.

A Chicks Climbing committee will select one winner, while the Chicks Climbing fan base will select the other. The fan base winner will be selected by adding up the number of “likes” the photo receives on the Chicks Climbing Facebook page. So, when you enter, make sure you encourage your friends and family to show their support and vote for you!

If you’re interested in attending the clinic make sure you sign up before we run out of space! There will be no bias for or against anyone that has already signed up, and if you are selected as a winner by either the committee or the fan base, we will return your money to you!

The contest starts NOW and the window will be open for entries until midnight MDT, Friday, Sept. 3. We will announce the winners on Tuesday, Sept. 7.

We are anxious to see how creative and artistic (or not!) our entrants will get, so don’t be shy and submit your creation! For those who haven’t dragged their climbing gear out of the closet in a while, here’s a good reason to do so. And for those who are climbing on a regular basis, this should be no sweat, so show us what you’ve got!

Ladies! Make sure to check out our PREMIERE event at Devil’s Lake, the Chicks Rock! full intensive women-only clinic which has its own special offer running (save $100 with the buddy deal!).
