Interested in getting more involved with Phlash? Have some feedback you’d like to share?

We’re having an open community meeting on Saturday July 23rd at 2pm.

Climbing will follow!

Climb with Philly Queers!

This meetup is good for PHolks of all climbing levels and great to PHolks newer to climbing. Just ask the front desk for PHLash, or your Host - Tess, and we'll take it from there!

Day Pass: $15 for PHLashers, including rentals if it's your first time. Otherwise, shoe rentals are $5.

Hey folx,
Starting January Myles G. and Sara M. will be hosting a monthly meet-up focused on training and skill development. This meetup is for folks who climb regularly, ie top rope, boulder or know how to lead. If you are new to climbing, check out one of our all levels meetups!


Meetings will be EVERY SECOND TUESDAY of the month through 2020 at The Cliffs Callowhill

Phlash is hosting our first community outreach event and we need your help! We will be hosting a meetup at the Cliffs with Big Brothers, Big Sisters for their Bigs and Littles. Our hope is to introduce climbing to at risk youth. We need certified belay folk who are interested in belaying bigs and littles in their first climbing experience.

Make sure you sign up in the Event to be a belay buddy

Climb with Philly queers at the newly opened Cliffs Climbing + Fitness!

This event is great for anyone new to climbing. Your host this month is Tess Yardney. After you check in, ask for PHLash or look for the rainbow and trans flags when you arrive and we'll help get you set up. Join us afterwards at a local spot for drinks, snacks, and chats!

The Cliffs has top-roping, lead climbing, and autobelays on the 1st floor and bouldering on the 2nd. Please note that all top-rope routes are set up with GriGris. You have to show competency belaying with a GriGri to be belay certified at the Cliffs. If you need help figuring it out, one of us can show you!

*Day pass + gear*
TBA
A bunch of us have guest passes, so please post below if you’ve got one to share! For folks lead climbing, the Cliffs requires you to use their rope.

*Bathrooms*
There are women's and men's locker rooms and a single stall gender neutral restroom. All are wheelchair accessible from the main floor.

*Accessibility*
The elevator and wheelchair lift are not operational yet. There is backdoor access to the top-roping area on the 1st floor (you'll need a staff escort) but no access to the bouldering area on the 2nd floor. The bathrooms are up a short flight of steps from the top-roping area.

This isn't a PHLash specific event, but rather a placeholder for Queers who want to climb together, outdoors, in a safe(r) environment.

From Event organizers:

This event is our main fundraiser for opening GS each year. GS is a special little boulder field littered with high quality boulder problems. We need to raise money each year to pay a lease and insurance so that the general public can enjoy this place. Go to scpclimbers.org for more information.

Carpooling / Crash pad share details will be determined closer to the date. Check FB or Slack for details.

THIS EVENT IN NEED OF A HOST

Join us for a variety show centering all different types of queer performers! There will be drag, comedy, aerials, acro yoga, music, storytelling, raffles, climbing, beer and more! The best part? All funds raised will be used to make rock climbing more accessible to the LGBTQ+ community.
Prizes from a raffle are also provided by https://www.crusherclimbing.com/, and https://www.cragtocrux.com/, The Philly Chapter of the AAC, Kate Otte, Left Hand Brewery, and Slow and Low Rock and Rye Whiskey.
