Climbing & Consent with CYAN & Harmony Project
- Festivals & Events
May 22 - 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Consent shows up in everything we do – including climbing.
May is Sexual Violence Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is Consent Belongs in Mountain Culture. Join the Canmore Young Adult Network and Harmony Project for a thoughtful and interactive Climbing & Consent session at Elevation Place.
You’ll begin with a 30-minute guided conversation led by Ren (they/them), exploring how consent shows up in climbing spaces and everyday life. Together, you’ll look at practical ways to build a culture of respect, communication, and autonomy – both on and off the wall.
Topics will include:
- Asking before entering someone’s space for safety checks
- Respecting boundaries around gear, touch, and support
- Communicating clearly throughout a climb
- Checking in about feedback, encouragement, and beta
- Respecting limits and decisions without pressure
- Consent around photos, sharing, and social media
Following the discussion, participants will move into a 1.5-hour experiential climbing session with Elevation Place staff. This is a chance to actively practice consent in a climbing environment – from belay checks to ongoing communication – with support from both instructors and Ren.
This session is open to both beginners and experienced climbers (must have passed a belay test at Elevation Place).
