Description

Rumney Together is an intimate, homegrown-grassroots inclusive climbing festival and meetup with a focus on underrepresented communities. OverviewAMC chapters from the northeast are coming together to host a community climbing festival and meetup at Rumney Rocks that is inclusive of ALL climbing members and at no cost to participants (camping is not included but grants are available to those in need). Rumney Together will be capped at 80 attendees to foster meaningful discussions, bonding, and networking among our attendees. The AMC, along with other climbing organizations and partners, will host climbing clinics both Saturday and Sunday offering affinity groups and all-inclusive climbing opportunities for FREE. However, you must pre-register for each activity. Along with clinics, there will be other activities to help build community such as fireside chats, yoga, meetup, a dinner social, games, and more.  Rumney Together will be held at Rumney Rocks and at the AAC Rattlesnake Campgrounds.
