Send Sisters
Send Sisters is our community for female-identifying and non-binary rock climbers. We host one private after hours event per month for female and non-binary climbers to connect and climb together. These events rotate between our two gym locations every other month. Both new and experienced climbers are welcome. In order to make these events accessible and inclusive, we only charge a $5 fee for entry, which includes rental gear.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive and empowering space for all female-identifying and non-binary climbers to connect and climb together.
Our Goal
Our goal is to inspire and motivate female-identifying and non-binary climbers to:
- reach their personal climbing goals, regardless of experience + strength
- increase their self-confidence, on and off the climbing wall
- educate and empower other climbers, inside and outside of our community
Our Core Values
Our core values are the principles and priorities that drive our actions. Communities thrive when they build and work towards a common goal.
S: Supportive + Accessible: We acknowledge that fear and financial limitations can be barriers to entry for the sport of rock climbing. We make climbing accessible by reducing the cost of entry and creating a supportive, safe and private space for female-identifying and non-binary climbers.
E: Ethical Leadership: We value authenticity and act with integrity. We believe in leading by example — both by acting ethically and setting the standard in which we wish others to follow. Honesty, trust, respect, integrity and authenticity are the pillars of our community. “Be the change” is our motto.
N: Nurture + Educate: We strive to create a nurturing environment where all participants feel important and heard. Our goal is to grow and empower our community of climbers by giving them access to the tools, education and mentorship required to be confident and self-sufficient rock climbers.
D: Diversity + Inclusion: We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive community for all climbers — regardless of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability or socioeconomic status. We have a zero tolerance policy on discrimination and hate speech.
