United in Yosemite

United in Yosemite is a festival celebrating diversity in climbing. Because in Yosemite, it's the bigwalls that should be intimidating, not the community.
We had our first inaugural UiY event June 23-28, 2023. The festival aims to address financial and logistical barriers that climbers from historically marginalized groups may face in getting to Yosemite National Park and in finding other climbers from similar backgrounds to climb with or learn from.
Get a taste of the magic of the event with some scenes from this year's festival!
