Affinity Sessions Creating Space For Growth

Join ASCEND as we celebrate our diverse communities with Affinity Sessions — climbing sessions dedicated to individuals who haven't always had equal access to or treatment within the sport. It's a space dedicated to intentional inclusivity, not exclusivity, and we invite you to participate and be a part of these efforts.

• BIPOC = Black, Indigenous, People of Color

• QFTW = Queer, Femme, Trans, Women

• Please register for session below or by contacting the front desk.

• These FREE climbing sessions are intended only for those in our community who identify with these affinity groups. Rental gear included.
