Diversity and inclusion have been core to the mission of BKB since the day we first opened our doors back in 2009. We set out to create a place for climbers when there weren't many options in New York, and from there was organically born a passionate and diverse community of people from all walks of life. Much has changed since then, but we keep Brooklyn in our name everywhere we go because Brooklyn means people–it means diversity, it means a place where people can be free to express themselves.
