Welcome to the #Sendsgiving Challenge, where we celebrate climbing, community, and giving back in the month of November!


The #Sendsgiving Challenge involves 10 actions you can take to deepen your connection to the climbing community. Document each challenge you complete on Instagram to share with the FA community and get a chance to win some great prizes!

To enter, post a photo of you completing each challenge on Instagram tagged with both:

#sendsgiving AND #letsclimbchicago

Here are the challenges:

  1. Complete the Paradox Mile (click for more info)
  2. Visit all 4 FA locations
  3. Donate a non-perishable food item to our food drive
  4. Climb with someone you just met
  5. Take a photo with an FA staff member you just met
  6. Commute with someone to an FA location
  7. Find someone that’s wearing a matching piece of FA gear (t-shirt, hoodie, hat, etc.)
  8. Make a dish and share it at FA Friendsgiving (click for more info)
  9. Take a photo with your favorite yoga or fitness instructor
  10. Take a video of you sending your project

Each post enters you in a raffle to win some FAbulous prizes:

Plus, anyone who completes all 10 challenges will receive 3,000 FA Bonus points and a sweet FA Trucker Hat.
