Women's Rock Climbing Retreat

The majority of women come to our retreats alone - somewhere around 90%.  If you are hesitating to join because you would be coming solo, please know that we expect a majority of our participants to be joining by themselves, seeking community. 

We generally have a wide range of ages at our retreats. The average tends to fall anywhere between the ages of 28 to 45. But we have had quite a few women in their 60's join as well. It really is up to the attitude and physical ability of the participant.

ABSOLUTELY. We will have at least 4 instructors at the retreat so that we can accommodate a wide range of abilities. In fact, teaching people the basics of rock climbing is what we do best. The entire ethos of She Moves Mountains guiding is to remember what it felt like to try climbing for the first time. It's intimidating, but we will be with you ever step of the way. 

Yes we have 2 types of payment options:

Please visit our PAYMENT PLAN page for more information.

We have a very strict cancellation policy. Please review it before committing to this retreat.

We strongly recommend purchasing “cancel for any reason” trip insurance to protect your investment.  This must be done within two weeks from the date of registration.  Ripcord and travelX are two companies that we recommend as well as the companies in THIS article. 

We do our best to choose dates where this won't be an issue, but it's always a possibility. It rains in the southeast! A lot. Especially in the Red. Fortunately, because the RRG sandstone is sedimentary rock (can be fine to coarse-grained), things do dry out fairly fast, depending on when the rain stops and how much wind and full sun it receives.

The weather can be unpredictable, but generally speaking, people usually wind up having an amazing time, rain or shine. Should it rain, it is super common to climb in sheltered areas. 

If poor weather will ruin your experience we suggest that you purchase "cancel for any reason" trip protection as we will not be providing any refunds due to weather related issues. 

We aren't experts in this area as this is not the lived experience of our current instructor team. But we want you here and we are committed to making your experience a positive one. 

If you can: 

• Hike three miles over varied terrain while carrying a 15 lb backpack
• Do 20 squats 
• Have good balance 
• And maintain a positive attitude 

CLIMBING IS FOR YOU!

Currently the most limiting factor is the ability to fit into a harness. We have harnesses that can accommodate up to a 56inch waist. We are looking into getting a fleet of fully adjustable harnesses before next season starts. 

If you want to learn more from plus sized climbers I highly recommend looking into Climb Big. Climb Big is an organization with a mission to "Make climbing more accessible for fat folx."

We know you love your fur babies but unfortunately, we cannot allow pets on any of our group trips or clinics.
