girl on rock is a climbing channel and community created to bring women together outdoors. Through curated trips, shared stories, and thoughtful resources, we help climbers build skills, confidence, and genuine connections

  • We thoughtfully curate climbing trips that bring people together and support meaningful growth on and off the rock. Each experience is shaped alongside hosts, guides, coaches, athletes, photographers, and hosts who add value through their additions; instruction, training, encouragement, creativity, etc.

    From pre-trip connection to the final climbing day, we focus on supportive groups, quality guiding, and experiences that help you feel safe, challenge yourself, and grow with confidence.

  • Community, safety, growth, and respect guide everything we do.

    We’re passionate about meaningfully supporting female guides and prioritize the value they bring to the these courses and the climbing community in general.

    We work with people, guiding services, and companies that care about creating thoughtful, responsible, and inclusive experiences.

  • girl on rock trips are designed for women, with select co-ed experiences available. The women-centered trips welcome cis and trans women, as well as nonbinary and gender-expansive climbers who feel comfortable in a women-centered space. We welcome LGBTQ+ climbers and people of all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels

    We’re so excited to continue expanding our community as girl on rock grows and look forward to create even more trips, programs, and opportunities to climb and connect!

Our Story

girl on rock STARTED WITH A CLIMBING TRIP TO SPAIN

“I found climbing in my early twenties when I started indoor bouldering for community and fitness. Not long after, I was introduced to sport climbing, and that was pretty much it. I fell in love with the movement, the outdoors, and the way climbing made me feel more confident and connected to myself.

Since then, I have built a life around the sport: a purposeful creative career, a life on the road traveling to different climbing destinations, and a community rooted in genuine connection, the outdoors, and movement. Through it all, I came home to myself.

Climbing brought some of the most supportive and inspiring women into my life. I wanted more people to experience that same mix of adventure, growth, and friendship, so I gathered a group of women for a climbing trip to Spain, and girl on rock grew from there.

Today, girl on rock creates curated climbing experiences that bring people together, encourage growth, and leave everyone with great memories, new friendships, and a stronger sense of self through exploring confidence and connection on and off the wall.”
