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: Transitions & Multipitching

Guide: Taryn M.

Amazing workshop, led by Taryn! A ton of information presented in a hands-on practice modality so we can retain what we learned. Only suggestion was out of Taryn's hands...but it was so good that a 2 day workshop on the same skills would be amazing, so we could get on the wall and practice in real scenarios. Really wonderful.

Trip: Climb + Coffee - September

Guide: Meg N.

Attended my first climbing session with these ladies last weekend. A friend who had gone to previous events told me about it and I'm so glad she did. Overall, everything was very easy and well organized. Everyone was supportive, kind and fun to climb with. They put up several top rope lines that we were able to work through at our own pace and level. The coffee and baked goods were nice. I'd do it again and would recommend it to others, especially those looking to get outside in an inclusive environment.
