Affinity Sessions
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.
