What is your race and gender? White Male What is your current income? What was your household income when you started climbing, essentially what class were you in, and if you started young what class were your parents at the time? Do you feel that the race/class/gender of a climber is unimportant? I feel that it doesn't matter. Why would it? Have you ever been involved in or witnessed biases in the sport due to gender/race/class? Nope Do you feel like there is not much diversity in the climbing world? And if so, why do you thing that is? I don't feel that there is much diversity in the climbing areas I am in. In fact, I have never seen any races other than White. I feel that this may be due to exclusivism based on the general demographic of folks involved. Middle class white folks bring middle class white folks to the sport. I may be wrong.
