The Global Climbing Initiative (GCI) equips climbing communities worldwide with the knowledge and resources to thrive. We were founded in 2019 at Yale University through research on climbing's ability to catalyze positive economic, social, and environmental change. Today, we invest in climbing leaders around the world with gear, education, and funding to support their visions for the growth of the sport. Come chat with us at Booth 127 to learn about opportunities to support the global future of climbing!
