2026 SLCA Annual Fundraiser

A huge Thank You for Making Our Fundraising Party a wonderful success for the 24th year!

DIRTBAG FUN WHILE FUNDRAISING FOR ANCHOR MAINTENANCE, TRAILS, AND ACCESS TO WASATCH CLIMBING.

On June 4th, the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance hosted an unforgettable evening of climbing community fun at Black Diamond HQ, all in the name of protecting Wasatch climbing. Thanks to your support, we had an incredible turnout of over 500 guests, raising vital funds for anchor maintenance, trails, and access—ensuring the climbing landscapes we love stay safe and sustainable for everyone.

The vibes were high all night long, fueled by a shared passion for climbing and community. We celebrated with live music, gear giveaways, local art, and a whole lot of stoke.

A huge shoutout to Black Diamond for graciously hosting us once again—this event wouldn’t be possible without their ongoing support.

A few fun highlights:

  • We welcomed back great sponsors like Level Crossing Brewing and Yoshi’s Food Truck—big cheers for keeping us well hydrated and well fed throughout the night!

  • The Cottonwoods Band, Red Bull stage and Shadow Mountain Productions brought the energy with an epic entertainment setup that kept the party going strong all night.

  • And of course, a huge thank you to all our returning sponsors and outfitters who continue to show up for the climbing community year after year. Your dedication fuels our mission.

Whether you came for the dirtbag games, the vendor village, the music, the food, or just to soak up the good vibes—you helped make this one of our most memorable fundraisers yet.

We couldn’t have done it without you. Every ticket and attendee helped support our mission to advocate for and steward Wasatch climbing.

Stay tuned for more events, updates on your impact, and ways to get involved. Until next time—stay dirtbag, stay stoked.

With gratitude,
The SLCA Team
