## Resource

Ukraine’s climbing scene is exploding, fueled by resilience and community—despite war. The Stoned Climbers festival in Zhytomyr blends outdoor climbing with live music, becoming the country’s biggest such event. Amid air raid alerts and soldiers on leave, all proceeds fund the Azov Brigade. New climbers learn to harness, chalk, and conquer rock faces, cheered on by crowds who see climbing as therapy and unity. Young instructors like Andrii Lamei, stuck at home by conflict, find purpose in mentoring beginners and drawing inspiration from their homeland’s cliffs. More than sport, these gatherings build strength, tradition, and hope—one first ascent at a time.
