Black Rocks x Touchstone: Juneteenth Climb & Celebration

Join us for our biggest event yet—a powerful Juneteenth celebration that honors Black freedom, resilience, and joy through climbing, community, and culture. This special evening is more than just a meetup; it's a fundraiser for Black Rocks, our monthly climbing group for the Black community. Come climb, dance, and support local Black vendors!

 

When: Saturday, June 20th, 7:00pm - 10:00pm at LA Boulders! Doors Open at 6:30pm.

...plus climbing all night with the Black Rocks crew!

 

Why Black Rocks?
We started Black Rocks to create a safe and joyful space for Black climbers to connect, climb, and be celebrated in the climbing world. While this space was created by and for Black folks, everyone is welcome to join in and show love.

What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the U.S., when the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas were finally freed in 1865, two years after slavery was legally abolished. It reminds us of the brutal reality of slavery: generations of people violently stripped of freedom, dignity, and basic human rights. Juneteenth honors their suffering, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice and true equality.
