Queer Crush ☀️🎆 July 2025
Time for some summer sends 🫡
Happy summer, Queer Crushers! Come climb with us through the dog days at our monthly meetups (many gyms have this cool new technology called “air-conditioning”) and grab one of our new stylish tank tops to beat the heat.
Although Pride Month 2025 is over, we’re not going anywhere. Here are some pics to remember it by. 📸
Merch!
Missed the opportunity to grab a Queer Crush “be gay, do climbs” shirt? Fear not — demand was so great that we’re placing another order! Use the form below to pre-order merch for home delivery or to your favorite monthly meetup spot.
