Women’s Climbing Meetup

Join us for our women’s climbing meet-up led by our very own Julia Nelson. This is a welcoming and supportive space for women and non-binary climbers to connect, climb, and grow your skills—whether you're brand new to the sport or a seasoned crusher. We’ll warm up together, share beta, and encourage each other on and off the wall. Come solo or bring a friend, everyone is welcome! Let’s build strength, confidence, and community together.

This meetup happens twice a month on Thursdays, alternating each time between bouldering and rope climbing. For rope climbing meetups, top rope certification is required.
