Ever since Uplift Climbing opened its doors in 2021, owner Andrew Hou wanted a muralist to decorate the walls of his gym. After searching for a local Asian American artist capable of painting in the style of Chinese water brush art, he partnered with Patrick "Dozfy" Nguyen to realize two murals representing iconic WA climbing routes in Little Si and Leavenworth. Arc'teryx Seattle is honored for the opportunity to sponsor this project.
To celebrate the completion of this mural, Uplift Climbing and Arc'teryx Seattle has partnered to host a reveal & Lunar New Year party during the Shorelake Lantern Festival.
