Women's Rock Climbing & Yoga Retreat

Whether you're brand new to both rock climbing or have years of experience, our retreats are one-of-a-kind. After four seasons of hosting these retreats, we have witnessed the barriers that can be broken and the community that can be formed in the presence of incredible women. The only thing we ask is that you show up!

The Details

CLIMBING AT SMITH ROCK

Guided climbing and instruction are available for climbers of all skill levels, from first-time beginners to intermediate and advanced climbers. All of our guides are AMGA Apprentice Rock Guides and are experts at finding the right climbs for you. In order to make sure everyone gets exactly what they need, we’ll focus on Intro instruction designed for those who have never climbed before, Intermediate instruction for climbers wanting to climb in the 5.5-5.9 range (best for those who have some experience, but perhaps have never climbed outside), and Advanced for climbers wanting to join our guides on more difficult routes.

YOGA

Yoga will be offered twice a day by our very own guide and instructor, Katie Paulson. Katie has been practicing yoga for 14 years. In 2015 she went to Costa Rica to take a 200 hour instructor course and has been teaching ever since. Her favorite style is creative vinyasa flow with some power thrown in for good measure. She loves doing yoga outside, and exploring lighthearted movement in any way possible.

MEALS

At our retreat we make it a priority to provide the best tasting food with the highest quality ingredients. Over the weekend our chef will cook breakfast and dinner, providing alternatives for anyone with dietary restrictions. And of course, dessert. We firmly believe that dessert is essential to a happy life.

LODGING AT LOGE BEND

Inspired by the surf, climbing and camping culture of the 70’s and the relaxed energy of a road trip with friends, LOGE inspires people to get out and explore together. They find forgotten motels near their favorite towns and trails, and bring them back to life.
From on-site gear rentals to fire pits and free live music, they deliver a welcoming outdoor-adventure-focused experience at each of their locations.

The LOGE Bend is located alongside the Deschutes River with access to the river as well as hiking and biking trails.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS COME BY THEMSELVES?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

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. 

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

We generally have a wide range of ages at our retreats. The average tends to fall anywhere between the ages of 26 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.

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

ABSOLUTELY. We will have at least 3 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. 

ARE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

We do! We require a 50% non-refundable deposit with the remaining payment required 30 days prior to the retreat. If you'd like to use this option apply the discount code DEPOSIT at checkout to make your first payment and reserve your spot

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

This depends. While we trust that you know how to lead, it's a huge liability for us as a guide service. We prefer you don't lead but if you absolutely must, we require that you do a lead test similar to what would be required in a gym and request that you mock lead all routes first, without any trouble, before you lead them. 

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

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