What to Expect: This meet-up will be pretty lowkey. We don’t have any structured plans in place for this event other than providing a welcoming and inclusive space to climb. This is a great event for those looking to climb for the first time or for those who are looking to make new climbing friends. This event is geared towards adults and older teenagers 14+.

FAQS:
Is this meetup for me? As we do appreciate allies and their importance to creating an open inclusive safe space for all climbers, this meet-up is specifically for those who identify as BIPOC/PGM (Black, Indigenous, People of Color / People of the Global Majority). The yoga room will be a space centered around those who are attending the meet-up. If you are an ally, we welcome you to climb in the gym during this event but not attend the meet-up portion in the yoga studio. Keep in mind we also offer a few other meet-ups throughout the month. Our Ladies Climbing Collective, QuICK Climbing are great spaces to meet new folks and try out climbing.
