Lagartijas Climbing Crú  is a community-led climbing group for Climbers of Color (BIPOC/PGM) that welcome climbers of all levels, creates opportunities for people to get outdoors safely, gain technical knowledge, and practice responsible stewardship. Ask us about our monthly gym meet ups, clinics, outdoor trips, and free gear library!

Lagartijas (La-gar-tee-has) means “lizard” in Spanish. In the beginning, it was just called “BIPOC Climbing Crew,” but it felt pretty important to have a name. When you have a name, you have something to belong to. Lizards come in all shapes and sizes, exist all over the world, and live in a variety of environments, proving to be adaptable and resilient. In the same way, we are a collective from all backgrounds connected by our love of climbing.

You can find more information about our upcoming events on Instagram @LagartijasCC, or by connecting with one of our local leaders. At Sender One Lakewood, your local leaders are Sabrina Claros and Kevin Kandamby!
