Color the Crag Climbing Festival

The Color the Crag Climbing Festival is a four day festival which takes place on October 18th-21st in Horse Pens 40 Alabama. Our mission is to celebrate diversity in the sport of rock climbing. Our mission is to increase access and exposure to historically marginalized communities by building relationships, encouraging leadership, and providing positive representation of climbing and physical activity among populations of color.

Our hope is that by gathering our many communities of color together we can address one of the many barriers to experiencing climbing, lack of community. By hosting an event supporting diversity, we will be directly supporting and connecting climbers of color. We will strengthen communities, increase leadership, and begin the conversation concerning other issues affecting our communities such as accessibility, public health awareness, and environmental education and advocacy.
