We have had a lot of folks ask what is BIPOC?

BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, (and) People of Color.

Who is this meetup for?

This meetup is for folks who identify with and respect the experiences within BIPOC communities and who are looking to meet other climbers and make friends within the climbing community!

What is a BIPOC Meetup?

This is a casual meetup to hang out, and climb!  A staff member will be paired with the meetup to break the ice and get the conversation going.  They will also be available to help belay as needed for the meetup.

When do we host BIPOC Climbing Meetups?
