Grip Fest is Indy’s premier climbing gear festival where community and industry meet face-to-face.

For one day, North Mass Boulder and Roam & Stow bring nearly every major climbing shoe brand together under one roof—from La Sportiva and Scarpa to Evolv, Butora, Tenaya, Mad Rock, and Ocun — alongside heavy hitters like Black Diamond and culture-forward brands like So iLL.

It doesn’t stop at shoes. Chalk innovators like Friction Labs, training and performance brands like Crux Power, apparel and lifestyle labels including Rungne, Vertical Scramble, Crux Forge, Tragur, and Birds Of Prey all show up. Even resolers like Yosemite Bum Resole and Rhythm Resole are in the mix. And local community forces like Circle City Climbing are part of it too.

IT’S A DEMO, NOT A CATALOG.

Stop scrolling and lace up. Climb it. Compare rubber. Feel downturn and stiffness. Ask the hard questions and get expert answers. Find the shoe that fits your foot — not just whatever your friend rocks.
