ClimbMuz/Asian Climbing Crew
Community Resources in Response to Far-Right Attacks in August 2024
This pack is a collection of resources put together by ClimbMuz and Asian Climbing Crew for the benefit of our communities at this difficult time. We have not authored any of these documents, but compiled what we thought might be useful.
ClimbMuz is a community whose aim is to encourage more Muslim women, ethnic minority groups and POC to try the wonderful sport of climbing. They aim to create a safe space where women can feel comfortable to climb alongside other women in an inclusive safe, form friendships and develop a love for a sport which they’ve never tried.
ACC is a community that welcomes anyone who identifies as Asian (across the whole continent) or from an Asian diaspora. We are a space for Asians to be themselves and find community. Climbers of all levels are welcome.
