Climbing on Country with Gariwerd Wimmera Reconciliation Network (online session)

In early October, we welcomed back the Gariwerd Wimmera Reconciliation Network, this time in partnership with Arc'teryx, for another Reconciliation Reflection session, this time online!

The session provided the opportunity to have deep and challenging conversations, and in particular, the opportunity to talk respectfully with others about digesting changes in the governance of Country and what it means for climbing and for our identity as climbers. The session provided the opportunity of a safe space to discuss differing points of view, the significance of reconciliation in situations where values conflict, the principles of reconciliation and how it might apply in the climbing context.

We plan to host more GWRN reconciliation reflection sessions, and may hold more Gym to Crag sessions going forward, so if you’re interested in attending one of these sessions please keep an eye on our event notices and socials!
