With the possible exception of some late afternoon rainfall, everything went off without a hitch at this year's Ibex Valley Bouldering Festival.

The all-day event has developed a dedicated group of outdoor rock climbers throughout its six year history, while also continuing to attract new faces.

This year was no different and on Sunday a solid turnout made the trip from Whitehorse.

The festival is a non-competitive event that offers climbers of all skill levels an opportunity to take part. This year it included not only rock climbing, but live music, juggling, a slide show and a short film, produced by Sierra Allen.

Allen's film was set in a rural area of Costa Rica, beginning with a child milking a cow, who gazes off into the distance and sees a boulder, before ending with him climbing it.

A slide show, featuring bouldering photography from California was also shown.

One of the new portions of the bouldering event this year was a dyno com open to men, women and kids.

Boris Kropaci had the best male result in the dyno com, while Carlin Val came in second and Robin Urquhart placed third.

Debbi Ray's result was top in the women's side and Annick Chasse finished in second.

Allen Mark had the best showing in the kids category and Cole Sinclair placed second.

"I hope some people from the festival got inspired to spend some more time bouldering and I hope to see them out on the boulders," said Ethan Allen, one of the organizers of the Ibex Valley Bouldering Festival.

Ethan said one of the most rewarding parts is watching the strides some of the newer climbers made over the course of the day.

"I saw a lot of light bulbs go on in that respect," adding that is one of the best parts of putting on the festival.
