Guides were excellent great amount of support while showing knowledge of each individual climbers needs. Friendly fun day perfect amount of support and encouragement with no pressure. Safety was obviously their first concern they were thinking about things ahead of time.

Trip: BIPOC Climb and Camp Weekend

Guide: Genevive W.

BIPOC Climb & Camp was an incredible, well-organized weekend to learn and collaborate with fellow climbers in my community. It made a world of difference to access the Red River Gorge in an affinity space and see some of my intersectional identities reflected back by the guides, Genevive and Cat, who are stellar humans. Thank you for creating a transformative space where I could grow and push the edges of my comfort zone.

Trip: BIPOC Climb and Camp Weekend

Guide: Genevive W.

It was the perfect trip. Cat and Genevieve are world class instructors. They are passionate, friendly, skilled, and safety oriented. We had a great group of people who love to climb and learn new skills. The location of Red River Gorge is great due to the camp site, restaurants, gas stations, crag locations, and gear shops.

Thank you so much to Genevieve and Cat. They were amazing at guiding every single person in our group and they happily shared so much knowledge with us that will stick with me for as long as I can remember. I could not have imagined a better first experience at the Red.
