In 2018, my partner and I converted our Honda Odyssey, and made it our home while we made our way to “Color the Crag”, an annual climbing festival in Horse Pens 40, Alabama. (See Color the Crag 2018) In 2019, we made the same trip, but brought a few more friends along and made a few extra stops.

The purpose of Color the Crag is “… to celebrate diversity in the sport of rock climbing. Our mission is to increase access and exposure to historically marginalized communities by building relationships, encouraging leadership, and providing positive representation of climbing and physical activity among populations of color.”
