Our Mini Fest organizers Lou Lou Bank and May Marian (May) Perez took a much needed post-fest day-off romp up one of Louโs favorite climbs (swipe to find out what it is) to celebrate a successful first Flash Foxy Mini Fest in the Gunks! Lou and May both learned to trad climb in the Gunks, have lived in the Gunks, and got their first guiding certifications in the Gunks โจ๐ This place is very special to both of them, and itโs been a dream of theirs to plan an event here since they started working together for Flash Foxy nearly 5 years agoโฆ and it finally happened!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to every participant, volunteer, facilitator, guide, partner, and sponsor who made the 2026 Flash Foxy Mini Fest in the Gunks possible ๐
P.S. this climb was also Louโs first multi-pitch climb back after two years of dealing with a foot/knee injuries, surgeries, and physical therapy ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
