SIGN NOW: THE CLIMBER'S PLEDGE
Racism exists in climbing. It is impossible to overlook the relationship between racism and the lack of diversity in climbing gyms, the outdoors, and in the outdoor industry. And while racism is so much bigger than climbing and the outdoors, as climbers it is our responsibility to look inward and to commit to changing the culture of our community and making our gyms and crags truly inclusive.
We are raising funds to support the The Brown Ascenders , a nonprofit organization created for and by climbers of color. They work to increase accessibility of outdoor spaces, outdoor related education and recreation for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color adults and youths, while cultivating outlets for community, representation, and growth. Funding will help power their clinics, gear libraries, and meetups.
Whether it is $5 or $250, we ask for the commitment of a donation to show commitment to the cause. We have a donor who will match 2:1 the amount that we raise, up to $30,000. In other words, if we raise $10k, they’ll donate an additional $20k on top. That’s a total of $30,000 to support access, inclusion, and justice for climbers of color.
