Equality gives everyone the same. Equity gives everyone what they need. Here’s the difference and why it matters in climbing👆

A little while back our directors headed out for an outdoor bouldering day in the Peak District. Partway up the ascent, one of the climbers needed to stop and rest. So we did. We sat with her, listened and when we set off again quietly redistributed the weight - those who could carry more, did.

turned around and said: “This is what equity looks like.”

Not everyone carrying the same load. Everyone carrying what they could, so that we all got there together.

That’s what we try to bring to everything we do. Because equal access on paper doesn’t mean much if the barriers in practice are still there.

Climbing changed how we feel 🫂

This Mental Health Awareness Week the theme is ‘Action’ and that’s something we’ve always been about. Because the benefits of climbing go way beyond fitness. Swipe to see what we mean 👉

But these benefits only reach the people who can access climbing in the first place. And right now, too many people can’t.

That’s the work we do. And we need your support to keep doing it.

Happy Earth Day 🌍

We believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy, connection and benefits that comes from being outdoors.

The outdoors shouldn’t be a privilege - it should be a space where everyone feels they belong. Yet barriers, financial, social and systemic, still keep many people outs that means fewer individuals get to experience the confidence, connection and wellbeing that nature can offer.

Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in these spaces, to access opportunities without barriers and feel the mental, physical and social benefits of nature.

We’re working to create that, supporting our communities, uplifting change-makers and standing alongside those creating a more inclusive outdoor future. At the same time, we’re committed to protecting the places we love by promoting environmentally responsible practices within the climbing industry.

Because we believe an inclusive outdoors is a strong, more sustainable one 💚

Go and check out to see the brilliant events they’ve got coming up around the UK 👏
