Movement Climbing and The North Face are joining forces to greatly lower the barriers to entry into rock climbing on Global Climbing Day 2024. The climbing gym chain will offer free introductory classes, gear rentals, and climbing sessions on Saturday, and The North Face will be handing out plenty of free swag.

Additionally, various activities are planned, such as competitions and giveaways. To top it all off, The North Face athletes like Shawn Raboutou and Brette Harrington will be making appearances at select locations.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with The North Face for this year’s Global Climbing Day. This event perfectly captures the essence of what we strive to create at Movement: a community where climbers of all levels can come together, share their passion, and push their limits in a supportive and inclusive environment,” said Charlotte Bosley, CMO of Movement Gyms and herself a climber for the last 25+ years.
