Climbers' Roundtable - Inclusivity in the Rock Climbing Community
After engaging in uncomfortable and sometimes unexplainable conversations in our local gym, Carrot suggested the idea to gather a forum of climbers from different parts of the world and communities. The prompt? To discuss those topics that are often ignored, but are of utter importance.
Joining us are professional rock climbing photographer, Nikki Smith, managing director at Saudi Climbing and Hiking Federation, Yasmin Gahtani, founder of Climbing Life Kenya, Liz Ndindi, and competitive climber and Belarus Bouldering Champion, Valentina Chamiakina.
Tune in as we discuss inclusivity, acceptance, and the limitations existing within the rock climbing community. Guiding this conversation is our dear friend and former theDIHEDRAL podcast guest, Hehewutei "Cody" Amakali.
