🔥 Woman Up 2026 🔥
Thank you 💜 🦄 🙏

If you were there, you know how special it all was 😍. If not—well, there’s always next year.

Another huge thank you 🙏 to everyone who came out to climb, support WalkGood LA, watch some insane climbing, snag swag, devour delicious eats, dance the line, and soak in all the good vibes.

We say it a lot, but you’re the reason we do what we do 😍. Thank you for showing up LA and reminding us why we love this community.

Until next year, always remember: “Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.” Yee-haw!

We’re still basking in the glow 😎 from Woman Up 2026 this past weekend.

To put it mildly, it was an incredible event 🎆🤸‍♀️💥🦄—thanks to our many community market participants, WalkGood LA, Touchstone Routesetters, Ellie Rubin, Claire, , Sara W**d, Outpost Digital Cinema, , and Aika Watanabe. Not to forget all of you amazing women and non-binary climbers, all the allies and supporters, and, of course, the insanely impressive Open finalists who competed in the nail-biting Finals.

We’re happy to say photos are up on Flickr. Check the link 🖇️ in bio—photobooth images on the way soon!

Huge congrats 🥳 to our three winners:

🥇Cate Harty ♡
🥈Analise
🥉Claire Lin

There’s a lot more to say about this fabulous weekend, but we’ll end for now with a massive virtual hug 🤗 to all of the exceptional humans who made this event so special for all of us. We couldn’t be more grateful 🙌, and we’re sincerely sorry we can’t name you all or if we left anyone who we should have named out.

🦄 Woman Up 2026 🦄
Happening Right Now 🙌

You still have time to join us for Ellie Rubin ‘s keynote and finals!

The climbing has been 🔥, the beats are pumping 🔊, and the community has shown up 🙌.

All Finals Athletes get Flashed Bags. And in case you thought it couldn’t get any better, well—Aika handmade bolo slides for our trophies for this year’s winners 🥉🥈🥇.  

Fun Fact: The bolo slide rings have Owyhee Jasper stones, and we couldn’t be more impressed with Aika’s handywork 😍. She also happens to be a former routesetter, and you should definitely follow her at Aika Watanabe.

So far, this weekend has been a blast, and we can’t wait for Ellie’s film release, keynote, and then the Open Finals throwdown 💥

If you can’t make it out, check the livestream (link 🖇️in bio).

It’s gonna be a blast.

📽️ Exclusive Premiere: HOMEcoming — The Ellie Rubin Story 📽️

As part of Woman Up 2026’s 🤸‍♀️ keynote presentation, we’re proud to premiere Homecoming. This new documentary 🎞️ by Outpost Digital Cinema follows Touchstone athlete and USA Para Climbing National Team member Ellie Rubin 🙌.

Born in Busan, South Korea, with one hand and adopted by a family in the United States as an infant, Ellie discovered competitive para climbing as an adult—eventually becoming a World Cup silver medalist and one of the country’s top para climbers.

Homecoming follows Ellie as she prepares for one of the most meaningful competitions of her career: the Para Climbing World Championships in South Korea, marking her first return to her birth country in decades.

The film explores the complicated meaning of coming home—to a place that is part of who you are, but where your life could have unfolded very differently. It’s a story about family, identity, resilience, strength, and so much more.

Join us at Woman Up for Ellie Rubin’s keynote presentation and the exclusive premiere of Homecoming.
