The Rockies may have lost in the National League Division Series, but it’s still Rocktober at REI. This Saturday, REI will kick off its Rocktoberfest with a full afternoon of climbing, beer and music. This is a festival for those who love the climbing community of Colorado. The event boasts a 5.13 climbing competition, a celebration of the Front Range Climbing Stewards, and beer from Avery Brewing Company. A full vendor village will be on site, and a silent auction will take place to benefit the Climbing Stewards, whose volunteers work to physically create access to local climbing trails. The day will also include hands-on clinics, giveaways and more. Rocktoberfest is free and open to the public. Learn more on Facebook.
