We host regular meetups serving 3,000+ members across California at gyms in Northern, Central, and Southern California in indoor climbing gyms and outdoor events.

ADVOCACY
Cultivating Safer Spaces
We partner with community spaces such as climbing gyms and nonprofits that are committed to queer allyship across intersections such as race, ethnicity, class, and immigrant status.
