Sends with Friends
Sends with Friends is a minority-led rock climbing community in the DMV area that brings together climbers of all cultural backgrounds and nationalities since 2021 to build a supportive space where everyone can find a sense of belonging. Sends With Friends is committed to making rock climbing accessible by reducing historical barriers that limit access to climbing for migrants, refugees, and expats. As we progress together in our climbing journey, we are able to challenge such barriers while growing as mindful contributors to the broader rock climbing community.
Sends with Friends meets monthly on the First Friday from 7:00pm – 9:00pm.
