Multi-Pitch Trad Climbing Experts

Woman-Owned And Operated

What we do

We are multi-pitch trad climbing experts who specialize in turning the mountains into the ultimate classroom for learning the safest practices in rock climbing. We can facilitate a fun day out for first timers who want to experience outdoor climbing for the first time, and help push the most experienced climbers to the next level. We are committed to maintaining small student to instructor ratios to ensure high-quality, customized instruction.

​

While we guide anyone, redardless of gender, we are a guide service who is dedicated to increasing the representation of women in a male dominated industry, specifically within the world of multi-pitch Trad climbing. We do this by providing instructional climbing events, specialized courses, and private guiding primarily for women*. In addition to being some of the most experienced guides in the industry, our guide team consists of almost entirely female guides. 

 

We love Trad climbing and have a passion for teaching. We're also women, and have first-hand experience with the camaraderie that is created when women team up in the mountains. We want to cultivate more of that, so that's what we do. We mentor. We empower. We connect. And we do this through climbing.

I had a blast and learned so much. While driving home last night, I was reviewing what I had learned in my head, and I feel like I'm so far from where I was before, and it feels great.
