• How fit do I need to be?

  You need to have a good level of fitness to participate in these two-day camps. For the Basic Women’s Crack Climbing Weekend camp, participants should expect approaches of 15-30 minute hike over easy to moderate hiking terrain. For the more advanced climbers attending Women’s Multi-Pitch-Tower Weekend, these camp is physical and requires fitness and stamina to access the climbs and climb them. The approach to most climbs is approximately an hour on uneven terrain.

• What if I’ve never climbed before?

  These two-day camps are for beginner to advanced climbers looking to develop existing skills and build community with other like-minded women. Participants will be split into groups depending on experience level.

  Moab has plenty of options for beginner climbers. Whether you’ve never climbed before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill level and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun!

  For advanced climbers, Moab has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives as a group, and in two days, you’ll progress your crack climbing or multi-pitch skills with female AMGA-certified guides. Let your guides plan the weekend so you can focus on developing your skills and bond with other female participants while climbing the classic routes or best hidden gems the area has to offer.
