Keen to join the adventure? Here’s what you need to know about registering for this transformative weekend. Registration is straightforward: simply indicate your interest and whether you’ll be joining the event for the overnight stays. Accommodation options include bunk beds within the homely Barn Door Hostel or a more rugged experience at the outdoor campsite, where you can pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. Once you’ve registered, keep an eye out for a link to sign up for specific climbing clinics or meetups, which are an integral part of the programming and are made available to all registrants at no additional cost. It’s important to note that while Saturday’s dinner is on the house, participants are expected to bring their climbing gear along with provisions for breakfast and lunch.
With registration, you’re not just signing up for climbing sessions; you’re getting a full suite of perks designed to enhance your weekend. From free event programming and choice of accommodation to a communally shared Saturday dinner, every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure a memorable and hassle-free experience. Clinics offer a personalized learning environment with limited spots to maintain a high instructor-to-participant ratio, promising quality guidance tailored to your climbing level. Despite the many inclusions, participants are reminded to come prepared with their gear, and readiness for adventure, and to embrace the ethos of community and inclusiveness that the event stands for.

Every aspect of the weekend, from the convenient check-in process to the carefully planned schedule, spans outdoor adventure and indoor comforts. Whether you opt for the hostel’s bunk beds or the walk-up campsites, you’ll find a setup that suits your preference for adventure. While breakfasts and lunches are self-catered, a communal dinner on Saturday promises delicious meals and great conversations. Beyond climbing, expect an engaging experience that takes into account the scenic location, climate considerations, and a supportive environment created to empower every participant. The 2024 AMC BIPOC Rumney Climbing Weekend is not just an event; it’s a milestone for the community, by the community, and an invitation to be part of something truly special.
