Although the pilsner party in front of korp! Sakala ended in shattered bottles and spilled beer, there’s always a silver lining – a pile of empty crates ready to become an epic tower!
Everyone is welcome to join, whether you have the balance of a stork or simply prefer to keep both feet firmly on the ground. No need to worry about falling – you’ll be safely harnessed throughout the entire climb. This time, the event takes place on Vabaduse puiestee, so from the top of your tower you’ll have a breathtaking view of the Emajõgi and Arch Bridge! And the 31-crate record is still waiting to be beaten 🏅
🎯 Crate Climbing takes place at the intersection of Vabaduse puiestee and Poe Street on May 1st at 14:00.
📜 You can register on-site or online starting on April 9th at 18:00 – the link will be available in the event and on our website.
