Land Acknowledgment

We are located on N’dakinna, which is the traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki Peoples, past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land and waterways and the alnobak (people) who have stewarded N’dakinna throughout the generations.  Please see additional information and perspectives here: https://indigenousnh.com/land-acknowledgement/

We strive to be good stewards to the cliffs that offer so much to our community, near and far. As a part of this effort we acknowledge the ongoing need to work towards a more just reality. We recognize that systemic oppression exists, and that the effects of this oppression continue within our community and at our climbing areas. We are committed to doing our part to dismantle systems that facilitate racism, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of bigotry and discrimination. We recognize and strive to support all those fighting for justice and equity.  Although our mission is in part to preserve the history and style of New Hampshire climbing as we see it, that shouldn’t come at the cost of creating or perpetuating barriers for others. We believe that all climbers should feel welcomed at the ledges, and we strive to assist our community in the removing of barriers and the creation of a safe space for all. We endeavor to be an inclusive organization, and to work towards inclusivity in our individual roles as board members, volunteers, and climbers. We also acknowledge that we are still learning - as a part of this mission we welcome new perspectives and feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
