BAD CLIMBERS 
CLUB

In 2019 we ran a Climbing Outdoors 101 workshop that was so successful that we were inspired to start a women/gender-non-conforming (GNC) only climbing club!

Climbing is a wonderful sport, but a difficult one to break into especially if you're new.

We're a group of climbers that don't take it so seriously. We like to have fun, be supportive no matter what your climbing abilities, and hold space for women and GNC folks in our climbing community through discounted meet-ups, helpful workshops, and good vibes <3

Are you Inclusive?
How we define “women” is broad and open to change. We include cis-women and trans women, as well as gender-fluid and folks identifying on the femme-spectrum. A hetero cis-woman runs this organization and she fully recognizes she probably doesn’t know shit, but tries and hopes you appreciate that <3 Always learning, and always listening!
