What We Do

The American Climbing Project addresses social, ethical, and practical topics in the rock climbing industry, in the hopes of building a healthier, more inclusive climbing culture. The podcast & blog both aim to reflect the voice of the climbing community through humor and candid conversation, with the consistent goal of promoting healthy dialogue with differing opinions & perspectives.

The American Climbing Project was named very intentionally; it’s a project, and we can’t do it alone. We’re dedicated to making sure this podcast is not only the best quality climbing podcast in the market (PERIOD), but also to creating the maximum positive impact in our sport, and amplifying the stories that too often get lost in the typical translation of climbing media.

The podcast will be released in mixtapes focused on a specific theme, featuring skits, in-depth interviews, and deep dives into episodes from the past and future.

The first Mixtape is on Race & Racism in Climbing.
