Queer Climb Night

Join us for the first-ever Queer Climb Night in Santa Barbara on Saturday, January 14th! This is a chance for members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and allies to come together, climb, and socialize in a safe and inclusive environment. Whether you are an experienced climber or new to the sport, there is a place for you. We welcome people of all skill levels and backgrounds, and we are committed to creating a supportive and welcoming atmosphere for all members of our community. We hope to see you there!

The event is being organized by Climb Out, a newly formed group in Santa Barbara that is dedicated to elevating the voices of Queer, Transgender, and other self-identified LGBTQIA2S+ individuals in the climbing and outdoor communities. We are passionate about creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQIA2S+ people in the outdoor world, and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in and enjoy outdoor activities, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Queer Climb Night will take place on Saturday, January 14th from 5-8pm at the Santa Barbara Rock Gym. It is free to attend for anyone who has a gym membership and gear already, and the gym has agreed to offer discounted rates to attendees ($15 for a day pass and gear rental, normally $37). We have some limited ability to offer financial assistance to those who need it, and we welcome people of all skill levels and backgrounds.
