Danger Will Robinson! These ain’t local branches of HC!

HomoClimbtastic is totally independent of the local clubs listed below–none of them have control over us, and we don’t exercise any control over them. HomoClimbtastic is not the queer climbing UN. HC is much more like international waters, or the Isle of Man, or Monaco.

What do the local clubs do?

Virtually all of the local clubs hold weekly-ish climbing gym meetups. Most train beginners, making them a good inroad to the climbing world for the unaquainted, and most host outdoor climbing trips for both beginners and experts. With an HC convention only once a year, a local club is a great option for meeting queer climbers and training with them on the regular. They are also usually your best choice if you don’t yet know how to climb.

We all know some of the bigger groups like:

CRUX New York, Capital Climbers D.C., QuICK Boston, Philly Phlash, GLAM ATX, Toronto Mo’s, LA Heel Hookers, Unharnessed Pride ATL, HTX Queer Climbers, and so many others.
