What we’re about

Queer Crush Climbing is about creating safe and inclusive spaces for those who are diverse in their gender, romantic, and sexual orientations. We empower Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color of all abilities to seek healing, health, community and connection with the land through the art and sport of climbing.

EVENTS
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.
