Scholarships

From gear to classes, transportation to free time - being able to rock climb (especially outdoors) requires an immense amount of privilege. We created our Pay What You Can program to help lower the financial barrier to entry. 

We find that traditional scholarships tend to favor those who are good at writing & story telling. They often prioritize applicants with specific education that is not always afforded to those in stressful financial situations or necessary to thrive in the outdoors. With that in mind we want to make the process simple and trust based. 

We believe in the integrity of our participants and aren't here to judge anyone's financial situation. 

To qualify we ask that possible participants ask themselves these two questions: 

• Would you be able to comfortably afford attendance without a scholarship? (I see comfortably afford to mean that attendance wouldn’t put you in a financially stressful position.) 
• Are you in need of a full or partial scholarship? 

Once a participant has identified their need they can use one of the discount codes for varying amounts. Who attends on a scholarship will not be disclosed to the guide and there is no follow up required. 

With these discount codes climbers can attend our weekend events for as low as $50 and select technical skills clinics for $40.

In 2022 we are committed to not putting a limit to the number of scholarships available for these programs. 

Trying something new is scary. Especially if that something new requires you to hang from a rope nearly 100ft off of the ground. 

Who you learn to climb from can have a huge impact on how you see the sport and your place in it. We work hard to create an emotionally and physically safe space where participants are accepted and supported exactly as they are. 

We have chosen this for our Pay What You Can Program because the first step is often the hardest and we want to participation as easy as possible for anyone who wants to give rock climbing a try.

Community is at the core of She Moves Mountains and the beauty of our community shines at our Camp & Climb Weekends. 

Climbers join us for two nights of camping and two days of guided climbing. Over the weekend our climbers build connection and learn to push their boundaries with the support of our guides and other participants. I have never witnessed anything more empowering than these climbers supporting each other. 

It felt important to include one of our community style events in our Pay What You Can Program.
