SUMMARY:Suru Outdoor Fest
DESCRIPTION:The Suru Outdoor Fest\, a former UIAA Rock Climbing Festival Award winner\, is a major Asian gathering with international reach and a long-term role in developing the valley. It is well attended and has a strong community feel. \nThe 2026 edition will take place from 10-25 September in the Suru Valley\, Ladakh\, India \nThe event started in 2016 as a small gathering of climbers who wanted to explore the untouched boulders of the Suru Valley in Ladakh. What began with a handful of friends and a few crash pads has grown into South Asia’s most celebrated multi-sport outdoor festival. \nEvery edition develops new boulder problems on the valley’s granite\, expanding the only permanent outdoor bouldering area in the region. Over ten editions we have collectively put up more than 500 boulder problems — a living guide carved into the stone of Ladakh. \nThe festival has won the prestigious UIAA Rock Climbing Festival Award (2019) and has been featured in Outlook Traveller\, The Outdoor Journal\, Rock and Ice\, and ZEE5 — placing Suru Valley firmly on the global adventure map. \nBeyond the sport\, SURU FEST is a platform for environmental and community action. Every edition\, a portion of all proceeds go directly into conservation work in the Suru Valley — trail building\, waste management\, and supporting local Ladakhi families who host and feed 1\,000+ visitors. \nThe festival runs a Leave No Trace protocol. All camping waste is carried out. Meals are locally sourced and predominantly vegetarian\, reducing the festival’s ecological footprint while supporting Ladakhi agriculture. \nThe SURU Initiative also funds fixed anchor installations and permanent chalk buckets at each boulder\, making the area accessible to visiting climbers year-round — long after the festival ends. \nFurther Information \nThe full schedule\, registration details and other information can be found here. \nDisclaimer \nThis event has been selected as one of the profiled Rock Climbing festivals approved to appear on the UIAA’s annual calendar of rock climbing festivals worldwide.  This event is not organised by the UIAA\, nor is it affiliated to the UIAA. All responsibility for the organisation and running of the event lies with the organiser.

SUMMARY:Siurana Climbing Festival
DESCRIPTION:Experience three days of activities and clinics led by athletes\, mountain guides\, instructors\, climbing developers\, photographers and equipment specialists\, along with climbers from all over the world\, to celebrate sport climbing in one of the most emblematic places. \nThe 2026 edition will take place from 14-16 November. \n\nClimbing in Siurana started in the ‘80s with the appearance of the first sport climbing routes. Unlike other areas in the country where sport climbing started from the evolution of traditional climbing\, Siurana became the first place in the peninsula to pioneer this modality.\n\n\nAs is well known\, the history of Siurana is accompanied by mythical routes that marked an era. This is the case of Dios ni Dor (7c+\, FA M. Le Menestrel)\, Odi Social (first 8c of Siurana by Carles Brascó) or Estado Crítico (first 9a onsight in history by Alex Megos) among many others. However\, if there is an emblematic route\, that is La Rambla (9a+). This route was equipped in 1993 by Alex Huber\, and saw its first ascent with Ramon Julián “Ramonet” in 2004. The send of La Rambla placed Siurana as a reference of the world difficulty and the internationalization of the school.\n\n\n\nCurrently\, Siurana has become one of the epicenters of sport climbing. Climbers from all over the world come to know the school attracted by its more than 1\,500 routes of all grades\, its rock\, the variability of styles\, and its environment. All this makes Siurana a unique place for sport climbing lovers. \n\n\nWebsite \nDisclaimer \nThis event has been selected as one of the profiled Rock Climbing festivals approved to appear on the UIAA’s annual calendar of rock climbing festivals worldwide.  This event is not organised by the UIAA\, nor is it affiliated to the UIAA.
