The goal of the queer climbing crew is to cultivate a positive and inclusive culture to learn and climb in.

The sport of climbing while radically inclusive for some has been outwardly hostile to others, especially members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. That’s why programs such as the queer climbing crew are crucial to building healthy communities within this wonderful sport.

If you’re a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community at any climbing level, come join us! And help keep climbing counter culture 🙂
