Crazy Rock Climbing – Solo Climbing
Dare you climb without any aids or protective gear? In life, some steps take you to the edge. A single step may not be long, but measuring the soul with it is a journey across mountains and rivers through heavy haze. When you take that first climbing step, you realize how much fear you’ve let go of; standing atop the cliff, you understand how much courage it takes to face the sky!

Slacklining
Faced with two points and a line, there are many ways to reach the other side. Do you turn back, find another path, cling to every inch hand over hand, or simply step up and walk across? Even if you wobble, sweat drips, and you sway, only fearlessness brings stillness of mind; only without retreating can you hold onto conviction; only without giving up will you reach the other side.
The North Face® partners with Elephantslaklines to bring you an exciting slackline experience, along with performances by top slackliners.

Mountain Biking
Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? Remember the forest trails from your youth, where bumpy roads brought the thrill of your first conquest? Falls, mud, and sweat could never stop your final smile. Hold the handlebars, pedal relentlessly—though the motion seems mechanical, you’ve already traveled miles through forests, grasslands, and the journey of life.
The North Face® teams up with Specialized and BH to deliver an amazing mountain biking experience, with pro riders sharing their tips on-site!

Trail Running
Don’t worry about the distance or speed. Enjoy the whisper of the wind, awaken every running cell, let your spirit dance freely, chase the wind and clouds. Every powerful footstep is a confirmation of moving forward until your last bit of energy is spent. Life is like a trail run—there may be times when days feel especially tough, but that’s when the rewards might be greatest!

The North Face® collaborates with X-Bionic to bring you an exhilarating running experience, packed with insider tips you won’t want to miss!

From October 26 to 27, The North Face® Outdoor Festival is coming!Limited spots available—sign up now!Held at Beijing Yuyang International Ski Resort!
