A Note On Scholarships For This Program

We typically offer scholarships for programs led by Moxie’s owners. For programs led by other Moxie guides, scholarships aren’t always available (because we want to make sure our guides are paid fairly for their skill, expertise, and time). If outside funding or donations come in to help offset costs, we’ll open up scholarships for this program. And, if you are interested in supporting another climber’s participation on this course, please reach out to us via email.

who are Bipoc on ice programs for?

BIPOC On Ice programs address historical and systemic barriers in climbing culture by increasing representation and access to ice climbing. These programs strive to provide skill-building, mentorship, and shared space amongst the BIPOC community. By increasing visibility, they help redefine outdoor culture by celebrating individuality and believing everyone belongs outdoors. Note these programs are for those that identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color.
