Last year I had the pleasure of being invite out to The Land. What started as a work trip that was really an excuse to get out of the city, turned into one of the most inspirational experiences I’ve had. The wind blowing through the golden Californian hills as large groups of turkeys grazed, sitting in a master garden cultivated with love and intention for decades & flipping over every piece of wood on the floor to make sure there were no rattle snakes. We brought the club to the Wild West and I left feeling more connected to everyone & everything around me. Unlimited thanks to @alexhammondstudio for welcoming us to such an intimate experience & @leahelizabethdixon for being the best🫶🏽

Thank you @marcclimbingthings for the time and always making the gym feel like home.

His Story: Powerful in my own Body

“I didn’t expect to fall in love with climbing. I just
wanted something different something that pulled me out of the noise. So I got the membership. I showed up. And
slowly, this sport became a mirror. A teacher.
A third space I never knew I needed.

I was 30 when I started. Late by most standards. But that’s when it all opened up: balance, discipline, quiet joy. The kind of self-knowledge that doesn’t come from talking
only doing. I’d always thought of climbing as something distant, something for people who didn’t look like me.
But then I stepped into the gym, and it became a place to think. To move. To feel powerful in my own body.

I’m from Trinidad. I’ve lived in New York most of my life. And what I’ve realized is this: in a city that never stops, it’s rare to find space that asks nothing of you but your presence and your effort. Climbing gave me that. And now I try to give it back So now, I climb for more than me. I show up because when a brown kid walks into that gym and sees me, I want them to feel like they belong. Like their allowed to be here. Like this could be there's too.

We need more faces like ours in this space not just
climbing, but setting routes, building programs,
leading. That’s how the change lasts.
That’s how we make sure the
next generation doesn’t just survive.

They rise.” by @marcmakingthings

better late than never❕a few weeks back had the honor of taking a route setting clinic over at @vitalbrooklyn huge thanks to all the setters for their insight🙏🏾 having the time to work with setters of color in this way felt like an invaluable experience (I had 4 stitches in my foot and still went btw🥲lol) and I can’t thank them enough for sharing not only their knowledge but also sharing their life experiences working within an industry that isn’t as inclusive as it should be. HUGE shout out to the team at @amy_stone_foundation & @nycclimbingcollective for making this possible❕EQUITY can be a beautiful thing, just look at all this melanin poppin💁🏽‍♂️
