The Beulah Festivus is located on a beautiful Granite strewn property west of Armidale. Todd and Greta have been running the event on a Private Station for the past 5 years and it really is a great place to hangout and enjoy everything that is good about climbing. There are literally hundreds of boulders of varying sizes and angles all over the property which are only available to be climbed for the 4 days of the Festivus (due to being on private property).
From the start Todd and Greta wanted the Festivus to have a focus on the finding and creation of new Boulder problems and climbs. The Gone Postal prize is awarded to the person that finds, scrubs and sends the most problems over the weekend to help encourage this. This is one of the key reasons we really love it. New routes and trying new places/climbs are an integral part of climbing. No matter what grade you climb or boulder there is enough Granite on Beulah to allow everyone the chance to put up a new problem and enjoy the problem solving and challenge that climbing something first involves. Who knows it may ignite a spark in you.
There are also a heap of established problems (several hundred now) so there is lots of established challenges as well as new ones.
Of course there is a lot more to it than just climbing including hanging out with a heap of like minded climbers, the various comps throughout the weekend, the great New England countryside and weather (hopefully its dry), evening camp fire and the hospitality of Todd, Greta and Cliff (property owner). There are also a bunch of great sponsors involved this year so plenty of stuff will be given away.
We will be there again this year and we would love to see you there if you have the chance to make this Easter long weekend.
