Happy summer!
Apologies for the late newsletter, I only just recovered from Pride. While I didn’t make it to any climbing pride events personally, they looked like a great time and I want to thank all of you who did make it out!
It’s high summer now, a great time to send, try climbing outside, and/or hang out and climb with your friends until late at night. What better place to do that than a Queer Crush meetup?

Land Acknowledgement
All the Queer Crush events discussed in this newsletter take place on land stolen from the native peoples who lived and continue to live here. This includes but is not limited to the Chochenyo, Ramaytush, Miwok, Plains Miwok, Tamien, and other peoples in Northern California, and the Chumash and Tongva (Gabrieleno) in Southern California. Many members of these groups still live here as their ancestors have done for generations.
Check whose land you’re on here.
Stay sendy, stay queer, keep crushing,
Sam “sent 12a in the gym” Hoffman (she/her)
