Don't just submit your send videos — we want to hear your story! Videos must showcase a climbing narrative about community, friendship, mentorship, hardship, the journey toward sending (or not sending) a project, or the importance of public land for recreation.

Videos should follow JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) principles, meaning they should not depict racist, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic or other hateful and harmful language and behaviors.
