Climb for a Cause.
This September, take on the challenge: 3,000 vertical feet to stand with survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse in the climbing community. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned climber, this event is about more than reaching the top - it’s about showing courage, resilience, and solidarity.
Your climbs add up. Your voice makes an impact. Together, we can confront silence and build safer spaces in our sport.

All proceeds go directly to supporting survivors in the climbing community.
