About Us

Sponsored and supported by the Front Climbing Club, Color the Wasatch is focused on building a community for climbers of color in Salt Lake City and along the Wasatch Front. Our goals are to empower POC climbers, highlight the achievements of such climbers, and to make climbing a more diverse and inclusive sport. 

We hold regular events and climbing nights. Our events are open to allies, but we will reserve the climbing nights as POC only in order to carve out a safe and supportive space for POC members of our community.​

We also run joint climbing nights with SLAQC (Salt Lake Area Queer Climbers). For more information about our events, please see our Instagram and Facebook pages (linked below).

Our History



​Contact Us

This group was founded in July of 2020 by Priyam Patel and Matt Burbach in the midst of the racial reckoning surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Since then our community has grown drastically, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
