Join us this Pride to say loud and proud: Climbing is for EVERYONE!
We’re celebrating the LGBTQIA+ folx in our community for the whole month of June and beyond!
You can join us by snagging Touchstone Pride stickers ($2) and shirts ($25) at your fav Touchstone gym and online, grabbing our latest beer release (“Take Pride” hazy IPA) at our brewery, or by attending one of our Pride parties in Nor Cal and So Cal.
100% of proceeds from merchandise and ticket sales will be donated to California organizations that provide resources for our LGBTQIA+ community. Stop by the front desk to grab Pride merch and learn about the organization your gym is supporting!
