19.01.2022 Get comfy & heat up the popcorn Patagonia is premiering their new climb film, Stone Locals. FREE ON YOUTUBE this Friday, August 28, 10am AEST. It will remain available to view on the platform after this time. ______________________________ ABOUT THE FILM ... Stone Locals braids together the stories of climbers from around the world who each, in their own way, serve as anchors in their communities. For these characters, climbing is much more than a sport or a hobby. Climbing is their way of connecting with others, with the land, and with themselves; its a mode of expression, a powerful teacher, and a refuge. These arent stories about the cutting edge of climbing difficulty, but instead vignettes highlighting the beating heart of the climbing community, in all its human complexity. We feel its especially important to tell such stories as climbing enters the mainstream. ______________________________ If youre in the middle of lockdown or self iso (or even if youre not), set up a YouTube Watch Party to sync up your screens & watch with your mates! Check out the trailer below.

07.01.2022 Flyp Urban Park (climbing gym) was heavily damaged in the massive explosion that hit Beirut, Lebanon on the 4th of August. It was a second home to a large part of Lebanons vibrant climbing community. Flyp stood only 1.3km from the epicenter of the explosion which caused carnage over a 9.7km radius. The explosion shook Beirut with the force of a 3.5 magnitude earthquake. Diala owner of Flyp and mother of three saw her business and her home, both within 2km from the explos...ion, turn to rubble within a few seconds. She and her family survived the disastrous event, but like most people in Beirut, it was a close call. Before the explosion, though barely breaking even, Diala kept the place up and running both for her employees and for the climbing community, but now they need more help.

As three women of colour, we realised our climbing sessions didnt always have many faces that looked like us.

We are extremely excited and cant wait to expand our colourful family and grow together." -Colourful Climbers __________________ Find them on Instagram at @colourfulclimbers.
