Supporting Women Climbers
The 2022 Seneca Women's Climbing Summit will be held on August 5 - 7, 2022.
The event is designed to provide a supportive environment for women who are beginning to lead trad and to celebrate the accomplishments of experienced woman trad leaders.
The Seneca Women's Climbing Summit is volunteer-run. Participants are encouraged to share their knowledge, experiences, and skills with each other. Workshops and clinics will be offered on technique, emergency preparedness, and other climbing-related skills. Teams of climbers are grouped based on skill level, and experienced leaders will be asked to take the "sharp end."
A group camping site and breakfasts are included in the registration fee, and dinner on Saturday evening is a potluck event.
Small Group Size
Due to the limited number of moderate climbing routes at Seneca Rocks, registration for this event will be limited to 30 climbers. To ensure a safe climbing environment, registration priority will be given to experienced trad climbers. As this is a trad climbing event, top roping will be limited to mock leading clinics.
