ASCEND QFTW (Queer, Femme, Trans, Women) Affinity Session

Join ASCEND for FREE climbing sessions - hosted by our clubs - dedicated to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and QFTW (Queer, Femme, Trans, Women) individuals. These after-hours sessions provide a safe and inclusive space for climbers who may feel underrepresented or marginalized within the sport.

Creating a welcoming environment: We believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable and supported in the climbing community.

Empowering underrepresented groups: By providing dedicated spaces, we aim to empower BIPOC and QFTW climbers and encourage their participation in the sport.

We understand that everyone has different perspectives. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for all, and we hope you'll respect the importance of these sessions for our community.
