SCOTLAND’S FIRST LGBTQ+ CLIMBING FESTIVAL

Halò a chàirdean! ClimbOot is bringing Scotland its first ever queer climbing festival. Being a part of the ClimbOut family, we aim to continue creating space for LGBTQ+ folks to meet, learn and climb together throughout the UK. It will celebrate the Scottish queer community, Gaelic culture and the shared joy of being outdoors, helping to make Scotland’s climbing spaces more welcoming for everyone.
