Join Stonewall Sports - Philadelphia for an afternoon of bouldering and climbing at Movement - Callowhill. All skill levels are welcome in this queer-friendly facility! Movement staff will be with us the entire time, and they can teach bouldering techniques and assistant in the use of the belay wall.
What is Movement?
More than a climbing gym, we’re a path to growth—personally, with your partners, and as a greater community. Our members often talk about how much climbing has improved their lives. It’s not about what grade they can climb—it’s about how much better they feel about who they are and what they can offer the world.
And, sure—climbing starts out hard! But we will meet you where you are and cheer you on every step of the way. The community will push you when asked, pick you up when you fall, and celebrate you for being you.
