The word is out. Homoclimbtastic has set the date for a spring trip to the bouldering Mecca of Bishop, California. After a hugely successful East coast gathering at the New River Gorge last summer, (read about it here) the queerest climbing posse in the country is jumping coasts and dropping the ropes for a bouldering trip in California.

If you’re not familiar with Homoclimbtastic you should check out their website. It seems like they custom designed it to make homophobes cringe and the rest of us laugh alongside them. Seriously, just check out their logo! 
 
 
They are completely unashamed, extremely flamboyant, and some of the funniest and most dedicated climbers out there.   
 
If you’re interested in attending the Bishop trip check out the trip info here. And don’t worry about fitting the criteria of being ‘homo’. According to the website they’ll climb with:

bisexuals, lesbians, ambisexuals, gays, trans’es, questioners, not quite straight people, amphibians with crushes on cephalopods, or however you define yourself.  And the best part is, you don’t even have to be a queer!  We’ll take anyone!   (But if you’re not queer, we require that you take a vow of silence to never speak of what you learn.)
