BADASS CREW
Shelma, her foxy climber friends, and their epic rock adventures! www.instagram.com/heyflashfoxy We love it!

Flash Foxy was created to celebrate women climbing with women and foster creative design ideas for the outdoors. I met all these foxy climber babes over the last few years through our local climbing gym, mutual friends and climbing trips and realized how fun and supportive it is to climb with other women and genderqueer folks. While I love our male climbing partners and friends, I noticed that the

re was a unique dynamic when it was just us… whether at the climbing gym, outdoors or even just hanging out together. I hope you can come to Flash Foxy and feel inspired by and connected to a new kind of climbing community. We share stories about our thoughts, experiences and adventures as badass climbers! xx, Shelma

Join (they/them) to practice “Falling on Gear!” This training addresses falling directly to help improve commitment. We do progressive falling practice followed by movement, breathing, resting, and body/mind awareness exercises. Students leave understanding how to take appropriate risks and how to commit to those risks. Students will practice the following skills during this course: fall properly, give a dynamic (cushioned) belay, break a climb into smaller risk events, assess risk effectively, distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones, engage no- and yes-fall zones appropriately, make appropriate risk decisions, improve body/mind awareness, rest effectively, improve breathing, create flow and momentum, deal with climbing stress, commit more deliberately, reduce fear, and more!
*** Must be able to comfortably top rope 5.8 in the Gunks or 5.10 indoors. Must know how to lead belay. Some experience placing trad gear (such as an Intro to Trad clinic) or leading trad is required.

Join foxy guide Sam Haines (they/she) Sam Haines to learn some “Multi-pitch Magic” ** Have you started climbing multipitch routes, but aren’t sure how to speed up and accomplish bigger objectives? Tired of hiking out in the dark? Join us for a jam packed clinic designed to clean up your systems, speed up your transitions, and cut out unnecessary steps, while maximizing security and minimizing risk. We’ll discuss route planning, different strategies based on team composition and objectives, and spend a lot of time practicing new skills for the way up, as well as rappelling down. Bring your climbing partner, so you can dial in your systems together!
*** Must know how to belay someone lead-climbing. Single-pitch trad climbing experience, as a leader or follower, is highly recommended.

Join Rise Outside co-founder Alexis Krauss (she/her) to practice strategies for climbing mindfully and connecting with nature in her clinic “Rocks, Birds and Breathing” 🪨🐦😮‍💨
Do you love climbing rocks but also love nerding out about birds, bugs, lichen and all the other amazing beings we share the cliffs with? Then this is the clinic for you! Together we’ll learn about the land, flora, fauna and practice strategies for staying present, grateful and clear while climbing. Climbing is so much more than moving up rocks, it’s about staying connected to ourselves and the natural world around us.
***All levels welcome!

Join Arc'teryx climber eM Pellerin (she/they) eM Pellerin to start your traditional climbing journey in “Trad for Sport Climbers!” Whether you’re ready to lead or just stoked to follow, come learn the technical skills and components for traditional climbing from a pro! We’ll cover the essentials like learning how to place stoppers and cams, and we’ll also have candid conversations about risk and how to manage it when the variables start to add up. Our instructors will provide low-risk environments for practice and review the skills you need to continue your practice after the course. Maybe we’ll even convince you that trad can be less scary than sport climbing!!
*** Must know how to belay someone lead climbing. Some experience leading sport climbs, indoors or outdoors, is required.
