This weekend is designed to create a supportive, stoke-filled space for women, non-binary, trans, and gender-diverse climbers to build skills, confidence, and connection.
Day 1: Sport Climbing + Technique We’ll focus on movement, efficiency, and projecting strategies on sport routes. Expect hands-on coaching around footwork, body positioning, and mental tactics. For those interested, we can also explore multi-pitch systems.
Day 2: Trad Climbing Focus on trad climbing with an emphasis on gear placement, anchor building, and decision making. You’ll gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of how to move confidently and safely on trad routes.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll: • Build skills in a low pressure, encouraging environment • Connect with other like minded climbers • Share experiences, stories, and plenty of laughs • Learn from the best of the best — Sarah
Come climb, learn, and connect.
