Colour Up is a community group, supported by Redpoint Bristol.
Even though everyone loves climbing, traditionally it has been a white, male-dominated sport. This issue, so often ignored, is the inspiration behind Colour Up, a Bristol based climbing group for people from minority ethnic backgrounds.
They have followed the path of similar initiatives like Brothers Of Climbing and Brown Girls Climb, with the goal of increasing diversity on the wall and opening up new spaces for the global majority.
The sessions are open to all abilities – in fact, we love seeing people climb for the first time ever with us! Don’t expect any formal coaching programme or anything like that, but our members are happy to show you the basics, without sacrificing any of the fun.

A statement from Colour Up below….
We hold meet-ups regularly on Mondays at Redpoint, 6 – 9pm – check out our Instagram for the dates each month! Apart from this, we encourage our members to use the group as a social hub: to look for climbing buddies, make new friends, or whatever else you need. This group belongs to you as much as it belongs to us.
Hopefully we got your attention and the next thing you’ll do now is check out our social media. And remember, the aim is not only to climb, but to socialise, bring new people into the sport, and have a good time!
Redpoint Bristol are supporting us in part by giving us a great deal for first time climbers: £11 for entry, annual registration and full kit hire!
