About this event

Join us for an evening of vertical problem-solving as we explore the past, present, and future of sustainability in the climbing industry.

**Register here in addition to doing so on Luma so we can direct you to the correct ticketing option.**

Climbing has always been about our relationship with the environment. We’ll start by tracing the roots of "clean climbing", a philosophy focused on leaving no trace by using removable/reusable equipment in outdoor climbing. From there, we’ll traverse into a review of the gear and equipment we use every day in the indoor climbing industry.

This isn't a lecture. It’s a community conversation starter. We’ll look at the "hidden" impacts of our sport and brainstorm how we can push for a more circular climbing economy.

What We’ll Cover:

The Hardware: The transition from traditional polyurethane holds to innovative, recyclable alternatives.The Soft Goods: The environmental impact of creating/using gear and how we can breathe new life into retired gear through upcycling.The Air We Breathe: Discussing the footprint of indoor facilities, from chalk filtration systems to the additives found in rubber dust.The Personal Footprint: The benefits of resoling your rubber and repairing your technical apparel to keep gear out of landfills.
