Equip Climbing Club
"Our people have a long history with the mountains, but it's rarely been because of anything positive. You are giving us a new way to connect with our own mountains and our own home again."
Resilient communities are made of resilient people, and empowering individuals to discover that they can do hard things is one of our favourite things to do.
With a strong belief in the value of using the Outdoor Classroom as a tool to see growth, the Equip Climbing Club emerged in 2023 in Erbil with a desire to see lasting change.
This unique Community Development Project has a way of bringing people together regardless of age, gender, nationality, faith, language, financial condition, and social status. While embracing challenges in a safe learning environment, individuals quickly discover a resiliency growing inside of them towards several aspects of life, exceeding what they previously thought possible…together.
The Equip Climbing Club remains committed to safety, and by partnering with the Administration of Parks and Recreation of Erbil, has lead the way for developing the Peshmerga Park Climbing Wall into an increasingly safe, and usable space for all.
