We always hear about the men who are involved in various sports, but what about the rock climbing women. There is an array of different issues solely for women in rock climbing, for instance rock climbing centers that are designed for and used for only women. There are, of course, plenty of co-ed centers, but if you are interested in those that are solely for the women in rock climbing then you are definitely going to want to read on to find out more.

Women’s Wilderness Institute

The Women’s Wilderness Institute, for instance, is one option, and since 1998 when it opened, they have offered wilderness experiences for women and teen girls in the Rocky Mountains as well as the deserts of the Southwest. So whether you are seeking a rejuvenating week of backpacking or the skills to build your own top-rope anchor, you can learn it all here.

They offer an incredible amount of opportunities for women in rock climbing, and their programs are designed to meet the unique needs and learning styles of women and girls while still providing solid instruction in wilderness living, outdoor skills and backcountry safety.

On all of their courses you will find the following solid education in backcountry skills and knowledge, mature and professional staff, an atmosphere of mutual empowerment, respect for differences and the right to individual choices, time to build friendships and enjoy the wilderness environment, and a balance of support and challenge.

Women That Rock

Women That Rock is another organization that deals solely with women that are involved in rock climbing, and it is a grass-roots, non-profit entity that promotes the involvement of women in climbing, and they offer high-quality, multi-day and fun climbing workshops for women of all different backgrounds and experience levels, of which are taught by professional women guides.

It is in fact the very first ‘women teaching women’ climbing workshop in the United States since the year 1990, and over that time they have helped many women become enthusiastic and skilled rock climbers. Women who connect at their workshops have built a vibrant and strongly supportive community, and they more than welcome new members.

Very few people recognize and realize that there are a number of different options for women involved with rock climbing. Most women really do not have a clue as to just how many opportunities are available for them in terms of this sport.
