Our Mission & Roots

Climbing built on mutual care

We replace gatekept, hyper-macho outdoor subcultures with safe, intentional spaces where diverse participants build personal confidence and lasting community.

Why We Started

Breaking barriers on the wall

Project Pride Climbing was founded to dismantle the financial, cultural, and physical obstacles that have historically kept climbing spaces exclusive. By providing subsidized gym passes, peer-led introductory workshops, and adaptive climbing programs, we ensure that the wall truly belongs to anyone willing to leave the ground.

All session leaders hold recognized climbing certifications alongside anti-oppression and trauma-informed training. Our direct reinvestment model turns donations and partnerships directly into community gear banks and transit subsidies.

Participant Experience

For the first time in a gym, I didn't feel like I had to prove anything. People were just sharing beta and cheering for each other.
