Great trip, fantastic guides. Learned a lot and climbed a lot!

Super knowledgeable guides that fostered a welcoming and inclusive environment for building the skills and headspace for a trad environment. Building a practice of holding space for yourself while climbing was incredibly impactful, especially when there are so many different ways to do things and different personal risk assessments. Absolutely would learn from these guides again.

What an amazing weekend outside, I learned so much and felt so inspired by the warmth, curiosity, and generosity of Athe, Alexis, and my fellow climbers. I feel so much better equipped to make safe(r) decisions outside for all forms of roped climbing and finally feel equipped to be a useful follower in trad settings. I can’t wait to slowly start building my rack and placing placements on mock lead! This weekend felt like an alternate reality where all climbers are women or queer and so, so welcoming! It’s the only time I’ve left a climbing clinic feeling less overwhelmed, like I can actually see myself moving forward in the sport instead of being stuck. I am incredibly grateful to Rise, Flashy Foxy, and all of the individuals who came together to make this opportunity possible. Thank you!!!

Genevive and Athe were such knowledgeable and patient teachers whose climbing backgrounds complemented each other well. I felt physically safe and also psychologically safe learning in a space where I saw so much of myself reflected. This was a weekend of exploration, connection, holding, and joy. Major props to Genevive and Athe for cultivating this special community. I was surrounded by folks who kept the stoke high on a rainy Gunks weekend, were so eager to soak up new skills, and were passionate about uplifting their own communities.
