Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
.
Juneteenth celebrates the liberation of those who had been held as slaves in the United States, long after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed.
.
These last 12 months have been a learning and growing experience for everyone within 5.Life. One year ago, we made a commitment to dedicate more time and effort to equalizing the racial disparities within our climbing community. As we look back on the year, we’re proud of the progress that we’ve made, but not yet happy with what we’ve accomplished. We look forward to continuing this progress through new events, partnerships, and opportunities as we transition out of this Covid era.
.
Last year, we made a Juneteenth donation to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati. This year we’re committing our day pass sales from Juneteenth to the Black Queer & Intersectional Collective, a grassroots community org working for the liberation of Black LGBTQIA+ folks through direct action, community organizing, & creating spaces.

Setter Spotlight:
Clap your hands for Head route setter, Quinn👏🏽👏🏽We are thankful to have someone as talented as Quinn to work for 5.Life. His friendliness and kindness shows through his smile, we wouldn’t want anyone else.
Not only is Quinn a ninja climber but also a wall designer. He has designed Chambers, Nittany and Bloc Garten, our newest facility. Quinn sets and travels for all 5 climbing gyms while still manages to be a dog dad. We truly appreciate the many talents Quinn has to offer and his commitment for the community.

Thank you to all our Moms! We wouldn't be here without you. 😉

One of your members, Avelea, made this infographic as part of a Design Challenge at Metro Early College Middle School. She sent it our way and asked us to help her spread the word about the injustice of unequal pay for women. Let’s show her some support as she helps bring awareness to the community!

Just a little behind the scenes update from #BlocGarten! @walltopia arrived yesterday and made quick work of unloading the trailers. Still plenty to be done, but it’s starting to look like a climbing gym 👀
