WALK AMONGST THE GIANTS
For one day only, DYNO Detroit is turning the gym into a full-blown showroom. Talk shop with top representatives from industry giants like La Sportiva, Scarpa, Black Diamond, Ocun, and Tenaya. Our crew and their reps can walk you through sizing, fit, and feel — everything you need to track down your Cinderella slippers
It's more than shoes, though. We're spotlighting local trailblazers that got their start right here at DYNO — Pangoo Apparel and Little Ghost Resole — plus chalk + skincare staples like Friction Labs and Joshua Tree.

Think you've got what it takes? Grab a tool, chalk up, and see how long you can lock off before your arms give out. Adventurtle's dry-tooling lock-off challenge brings out the best in the Midwest — stick around, cheer on the competition, and maybe walk away with a prize of your own.
Just showing up gets you a ticket — but why stop there? Rack up extra entries by throwing down in the lock-off, dyno, and mystery challenges, and boost your shot at some seriously killer prizes. Huge thanks to our incredible BLOC party sponsors for making it all possible!
Drawings at 4:00 p.m. — you must be present to win.
Swing by and talk shop with Todd, co-founder of Adventurtle — a mobile app designed to empower people to step outside with confidence & reduce barriers to outdoor adventures. And since one man's trash is another man's treasure, Todd's bringing along the famous Adventurtle share table too. Scope their gently used goods and snag that thing you’ve got the perfect use for.
Shoes looking a little worn down? DYNO Detroit's got you covered with resoling services at the BLOC party, courtesy of our own Little Ghost Resole. Swing by their booth to get the scoop — whether you're due for a fresh sole or just curious about the process.
THE NITTY GRITTY
Ordered a pair at the event? Here's what to expect: special orders typically arrive within a few weeks, unless something's backordered — if that happens, we'll reach out to keep you in the loop, and again once your shoes are in and ready for pickup. Payment is collected at pickup, and all special orders are final sale (no returns, no exchanges).
For everyone's safety, all climbing equipment — including shoes, harnesses, carabiners, chalk and chalk accessories, personal care products, slings, helmets, and other climbing gear — can't be returned. This is standard practice across climbing gyms and outdoor retailers worldwide: because personal protective equipment (PPE) can't be verified as unused once it leaves our shop, we're not able to resell or guarantee it's safe for someone else to use.
Warranty support is limited to 14 days. After 14 days, customers will need to contact the vendor directly.
Customers may return or exchange apparel within 30 days with proof of purchase. Eligible items must be in new, unused condition with tags attached and packaging intact. Exclusions apply.
Exclusions: Clearance and sale/discounted items are final sale.
See you there, Detroit!
Saturday, October 17 · 10AM–6PM · 3500 Orleans St, Detroit, MI 48207
