How many El Cap's worth?....maybe about 80 ascents, but we're wondering if that would have been easier!!
Cost is relative to value - $150 is a lot for a T-shirt but it's not a lot for a 3 day festival with heaps of great stuff, and speakers you may never get a chance to see again.
If you really can't afford a ticket, you can always volunteer and can get a free pass!!
If you've been to any of the previous festivals, you'll know how awesome they were. We're not out to make money (we don't get paid at all!) - we just want to make the festival happen, which couldn't happen if we don't charge what we need to.
We are happy to be open about the festival costs if anyone wants to know.
We want to see this festival come back on a regular basis, just as most climbers do, and if we can keep our heads above water, maybe it can happen.
If you've got any queries or want to volunteer contact us at acf@australianclimbingfestival.com.au
Cheers,
