Community Stewardship
Belonging Begins Here
At Touchstone, climbing is more than a sport—it’s a route to connection, care, and belonging.
Finding Your
Community
We’re more than gyms.
We’re a community.
Across California, climbers gather in our spaces to connect, learn, and lift each other up. Affinity Groups are open to all levels. Because everyone deserves a crew to crush with.
Affinity Groups
We host over 50 affinity groups across our 18 locations. From women to BIPOC to queer to paracliffhangers groups and beyond—everyone can find their crew to crush with.
Touchstone Athletes
Our athletes represent more than strength. They embody creativity, grit, and community spirit. From competition walls to neighborhood projects, these climbers remind us what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
Giving Back
Climbing Together Means Caring Together.
Climbing has always been about helping one another rise—literally and figuratively. Through our community initiatives, we extend that same spirit beyond the gym walls.
We give back throughout the year by supporting individuals and community organizations. Explore our community engagement history.

We always wanted to serve our neighborhood at Mission Cliffs—but we were a bit disorganized for our first few years. While we have found paper records indicating the number of individuals served, we could not find the names of the organizations.

Meet Mark
After 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, Mark Lytal turned his experience into a mission of compassion—delivering water, ice, and care to unhoused communities throughout Sacramento.
When Touchstone learned of his work, we partnered to help expand his reach, creating Showers by Touchstone.
“Show some compassion, treat people as you wish to be treated, and try something new. Just smile and say ‘hi’ to everyone you meet today.”
— Mark Lytal
