About Us

4.9 (47 reviews)
She Sends is a community-centered climbing education organization dedicated to empowering women and genderqueer climbers through accessible, inclusive, and trauma-conscious outdoor experiences. Founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality climbing education, She Sends offers clinics, events, and retreats designed to meet climbers exactly where they are — whether it’s their first day outside or they’re looking to deepen existing skills. Our programs emphasize connection, confidence-building, and thoughtful progression in a supportive environment. We operate on a sliding scale model to help remove financial barriers and create more equitable access to outdoor education for historically disenfranchised communities. All of our offerings are guided by trauma-conscious teaching practices, prioritizing psychological safety, autonomy, and respect for each participant’s lived experience. At She Sends, climbing is more than movement on rock — it’s a pathway to community, resilience, self-trust, and growth. Through expert instruction and compassionate space-holding, we aim to foster meaningful connections to self, others, and the natural world.

Trip: We Send Climbing Festival

Guide: Chelsea R.

What an amazing trip to get to connect with other strong women in a space that felt safe and free of judgement. All levels welcomed. I showed up for this event alone knowing I would need to make friends to find someone to climb with and that was the daunting before arriving. However after getting there and setting up my tent there was so many amazing fems who were so willing to take me and share a meal and a belay . I felt so supported and welcomed moving from group to group with absolutely kindness and support. Have u ever been on a climbing trip with zero ego? No! At least not recently. Most trips I have been on, men out weight the women and the egos are inflating each other. Not here just women uplifting women.
