Our Mission
Established in January 2023, the Women’s Lead Club strives to provide connections, education and opportunities to facilitate women’s climbing both indoors and outside. Through regular meetups, outdoor trips, educational resources, and a shared social media platform, we aim to help our members reach their climbing goals in a supportive and encouraging space. We value our North Bay climbing community, strive to form connections in the greater community, and endeavor to be stewards of our local crags.
We acknowledge the limitations in the language we’re using as a “women’s” club and in an attempt to address how important inclusivity is in the climbing community; When we say women we mean, all kinds: AFAB, woman-identified people, trans women, gender-non conforming and gender-expansive. While we are addressing issues pertaining to “women” in climbing we support the mission of clubs like Queer Climbing Club.

“Women’s lead club is security. This club gave me the guarantee that especially outdoor climbing will always be accessible. What once was precariously oriented around romantic relationships, is now centered around women’s empowerment.”
