Monthly BIPoC meet ups! 1-3pm alternating locations (see end of caption) limited $15 drop in at the link in our bio :) includes rentals. If it’s full or cost is an issue DM us! try and fill out the online waiver if it’s your first time to the gyms, we’ll help you on the day if needed! All levels welcome, white people you can still come but please don’t take a discounted spot (that would be weird). These spaces centre rad politics which means please be mindful of who is in attendance at the meetups, while not assuming anything of folks’ identities we hold ourselves accountable to not perpetuate harmful dynamics (can look like beta spraying, prioritizing certain types of strength, play etc, assuming we know why folks want to climb, what they want out of it) BelayAll is really a sneaky community building project moonlighting as a climbing meetup group. We don’t shame folks for not knowing things and we do collectively challenge the norms upholding systems of oppression (yes, even in the climbing community) Wee! See you on the 1st sundays of the month at Hive North Vancouver And the 3rd sundays of the month at Hive Bouldering Vancouver by @belay.all

Woah! There it is! Our last outdoor meetup of the season! Come learn some things and be in community and maybe teach us? Or bring snacks? Or sit around and touch rock? It all sounds good to us! Especially the snacks. Rumour has it, sugar snap peas are the best snack and stand undefeated, except maybe by papaya or whatever your grandma made that you can no longer recreate. See you on July 30th! Or out in the wild!

Shabana is a racialized climber from the East Coast, who has had the privilege of climbing and adventuring for over 25 years. She is an active co-facilitator for the QTBIPOC community climbing initiative BelayAll @belay.all and the co-founder of the South Asian Climbers Coalition (SACC) @southasianclimberscoalition . Shabana recently completed a Master’s at UBC, which focused on the racialized experiences of South Asian climbers in colonially-named Canada. She now works as the Marketing & Communications Assistant at The Hive @hiveclimbing climbing gyms in Vancouver, while continuing to engage in academic work, community projects, and climbing (of course)! We are also excited to welcome a small panel of guest speakers, including representatives from @belay.all @soul.of.miistaki and @pridesquamish .
