Happy Holidays Queer Crushers. I know for some, the holidays are a sensitive time, so we are thankful that there are more & more opportunities to seek out our own queer inclusive spaces for the holidays - like Queer Crush! Let’s celebrate all the amazing memories and fun times we’ve had Queer Climbing this entire year during this final month of 2025 💗.
Monthly Meetups
We welcome all ages, experience levels, and identities at all our events. If there’s a link listed, RSVP so the gym knows you’re coming; otherwise, just show up.
