UWC in the last year has supported ClimbMuz by continuing to reduce the cost of entry and support those members who struggle financially to be able to afford Climbing. Throughout the past year UWC have supported us to spread our message to a wider audience with their collaboration with Arc’teryx. People who came to the summer of climb at City Bouldering were introduced to South Asian sweets and provided with halal catering and city bouldering for accomdating a space to pray.

Wanderers of Colour have been hosting monthly bouldering and rope climbing meet-ups for people of colour since 2020. This autumn they kicked off their weekly Climb Club, triggered – in part – by the overwhelming enthusiasm for climbing that was kickstarted by their climbing festival that we supported earlier this year. Thanks to United We Climb’s free punches at Stronghold, Wanderers of Colour can offer sliding scale pricing for Climb Club. Participants pay £0 / £5 / £10 / £15 depending on their financial status. Everyone gets free shoes and free registration. Around 40% of people from ethnic minorities are in income poverty, twice the rate for white people. United We Climb are proud to help Climb Club be inclusive and diverse, providing a space for people of colour to come together, exercise regularly and combat the winter blues together. Climb Club meets every Tuesday from 7pm, alternating between @cityboulderingstratford and @stronghold_ldnf. Sign up here https://bit.ly/m/Wanderers-of-Colour (see @wanderersofcolour for link in bio)

In September, Asian Climbing Crew hosted an outdoor climbing course with the brilliant instructor Helen Tang (RCI) @Tang_Outside. Over two days, the course included 12 students, many of whom completely new to outdoor climbing, and some even learning howe to climb on ropes and belay for the first time! The course also facilitated three individuals to be able to shadow the instructor as a part of their own journey to becoming qualified climbing instructors. The groups had so much fun, learned so much, and formed wonderful connections. The course was free for all participants and also covered travel costs for low-income climbers. We hope this program has helped to make outdoor climbing more diverse and accessible. This program was made possible by funding from United We Climb and Arc’teryx.

From one of our amazing community partners @uk.paraclimbing.collective …Thanks to UWC’s free punches, in the last year 37 people have been able to attend our socials when finances would have otherwise been a barrier. With disabled and neurodivergent people facing much higher rates of poverty, unemployment and cost of living increases than non-disabled people, this has been vital in helping us reach as many people who would like to attend UKPC socials as possible!

The Woman’s Bouldering Festival @womensbouldering is something we are proud to have been involved in, over a number of years. This year was no exception. UWC, in collaboration with the Women’s Bouldering Festival, has been able to support three climbers from the UK, to attend this outdoor climbing festival in France. This is just one example of how UWC is breaking down barriers and creating new pathways into climbing and the outdoors. These three climbers were also joined at the festival by one of our directors, Marie Uri. Marie not only took part in the workshops but also presented a talk (and Q&A) on Community, Diversity and Allyship, to the 120 attendees, from all over the world.

Posted @withregram • @climboutfest We have some exciting news for you!! ClimbOut, Plas y Brenin, and Mountain Training are partnering up to establish an Outdoor Qualification Scheme. This initiative will provide a safe space for queer folk to undertake subsidised Mountain Training leadership courses at Plas y Brenin. Apply by the 14th of June! Application link in our bio. Got any questions? Feel free to dm us or email hello@climbout.org What is this? The aim of this project is to influence and have a lasting impact in promoting diversity within the Mountain Training qualifications and as a result within the outdoor careers sector. The results of the diversity monitoring survey at ClimbOut 2023 clearly showed a lack of diversity within the instructor team, across some key demographics. We believe this is a result of a lack of diversity present within the relevant Mountain Training qualifications, e.g. across gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Recognising the importance of addressing this issue, we have partnered with Plas y Brenin and Mountain Training to organise a week at Plas y Brenin starting the 24th of August where we will deliver leadership qualifications courses. #Climbing #ClimbingFestival #ClimbOut #ClimbOutFestival #BMC #BritishMountaineeringFestival #AdventureAwaits #OutdoorCommunity #LGBTQ+ #QueerClimbing #LGBTOutdoors #QueerOutdoors #GayClimber #LGBTClimbers #QueerClimbers #DiversifyClimbing #DiversifyUKClimbing #DiversifyOutdoors #RepresentationMatters #ClimbersOfColor #ColorTheCrag #BrownGirlsDOClimb #BlackRockClimbers #Paraclimbing #DisabledClimbers #ClimbersWithDisabilities #TransClimber #TransAthletesBelongInSport #NonBinaryClimber #QueerClimber 🎨 Identity & Illustration: sporadicillustration
