In partnership with local ACMG guides, Renee Lavergne and Claire Ellick, The Crush Collective and Banff Pride are offering a half-day of free introductory outdoors rock climbing for Two-Spirit and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and more (2S/LGBTQ+) folks on Sunday, October 2nd 12:00pm-4:00pmMST*.
The half-day session will take place in Banff National Park at the Sunshine Slabs Crag. The routes chosen will be introductory level and no previous experience is required. Climbing equipment can also be provided if needed. Thank you to OnwardUP for providing gear rentals for this event.
We welcome all bodies and the event will be set at a pace to fit everyone's needs. This event is open to individuals who are ages 18+.
The Crush Collective will do our best to make transportation options available for those who are not able to transport themselves.
Participants who register will be emailed a confirmation of attendance prior to the climbing date. This event is fully subsidized thanks to Banff Pride.
Please note, as registration is limited, we will be prioritizing registration from individuals who hold additional intersections of identity/face marginalization that influence access to climbing. More details are in the questions below.
