Here are a few testimonials from participants from our last retreat

"This retreat was soul cleansing and life changing. I was like this little seed before, stuck in the dirt. This retreat found me, named me, watered me and surrounded me with love, as I was finally able to grow and I bloomed !"

"This retreat restored my faith and myself and helped me restore trust in my body, and it’s ability to heal and do hard things. I’ve truly redefined the way I see myself. My whole life I felt scared and overly cautious. This opportunity to live fearlessly even for just a few hours has opened up a whole world of new possibilities. "

"Going through Cancer I lost my identity, sense of self, strength, and trust to my body. This retreat showed me I’m on the road to recovery and healing, despite still being in active treatment."



Whether you can give a few hours a month or want to dive into a bigger role, we’d love to hear from you. Your time and talents can directly support women affected by cancer as they rediscover strength, confidence, and connection through climbing and community.

Interested? DM me with a a quick intro and your interests.
Thank you!

I understand that it’s not always easy to find climbing mentors to learn skills from and hiring a guide may not be an option.

Genuine Climbing believes that the true heart of climbing resides in the shared love of the sport in the community.

That's why I have collaborated with an amazing team of experienced women climbers to offer a free day of education and clinics.

Join me, Jobi Gabrielli, Gail Blauer, Jane Bishow-semevolos, Jessica Miller, Mollie Ruth and Thea Oh on July 14 for a day of community, mentorship and learning.
