The Fieldhouse was busy this past Sunday with climbers of all ages looking to scale the big wall.

The Yellowknife Climbing Club hosted a competition in conjunction with the city. It was designed to promote the popularity of climbing in the city in a friendly way with the city providing the equipment and the club giving its expertise.

There were three categories divided by age groups: youth from ages four to nine, youth from 10 to 14 and 15 and up for the older folks.
