About this event
- 2 days 1 hour
Join us again this year for AMC's 2024 BIPOC Rumney Climbing Weekend! We'll be up at Barn Door Hostel for 2 nights with even more offerings this year!
With this event, we aim to provide BIPOC climbers a safe space to learn and advance their outdoor climbing and leadership skills while strengthening our community. Please note that this event is intended to be an affinity space for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
The event will take place from the evening of Friday, June 21-Sunday, June 23 with clinics, meetups, and meals in between. Please see the agenda for a detailed description of our offerings.
Sounds great, I'm in! What do I do now? The first step is to register for this event and tell us if you will be staying with us or not. If you are staying with us, BarnDoor has an indoor hostel setup with bunkbeds, or an outdoor campground for you to set up a tent.
After main registration for this event, you will receive a link where you can sign up for any clinics or meetups. Clinics will have a hard limit on the number of participants, as these are instructional clinics where we would like to maintain a low instructor to participant ratio. Those participating in clinics will also be screened and may be accepted or denied based on instructor evaluation on how ready a participant is for that clinic. Meetups will have a cap and participants are expected to be self-sufficient climbers.
What's Included: All programming including clinics and meetups are free with your registration. However, clinic registration is not guaranteed. You will get a link for clinic and meetup registration after you have registered for this event. If you choose to stay with us, you will also get either a bunk in the hostel at BarnDoor or a campsite in the upper campground at BarnDoor, depending on your ticket choice. Please note that campsites are walk-up only and require you to provide your own tent, sleeping bag, and/or anything else you might need for camping. Campers are also not allowed inside of the hostel, but outdoor port-a-potties and showers are provided outside. Dinner on Saturday evening is also provided.
What's not Included: Breakfasts and Lunches are not provided, and you will need to bring your own. Water refills are available at BarnDoor but you must supply your own for the day, as well as a bottle. You will also need any overnight equipment and personal toiletries, as well as your own personal climbing gear. Bring whatever you have, and if you don't have specific pieces of gear, let us know in your registration.
