Women’s Climbing Programs
Women’s Outdoor Climbing Programs
San Diego Climbing School women’s programs are designed to create a supportive, inclusive space where climbers can learn, practice, and grow together in the outdoors. Led by AMGA-certified female instructors, these clinics prioritize hands-on learning and community building.
We focus on building technical skills while also fostering connection, confidence, and trust on the wall. All gender identities are welcomed and valued, with the understanding that the program’s facilitation is intentionally shaped to center women’s experiences and encourage mentorship within the climbing community.
Sliding Scale Cost:
The cost of these programs are between $80-120. The average cost of a full day of guided group climbing ranges from $140-$200 per person. At San Diego Climbing School, we believe outdoor climbing should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial means. Our sliding scale pricing lets you choose an amount that fits your budget while helping support our mission to keep climbing inclusive.
Please select the amount that works best for you, keeping in mind how your contribution helps sustain and grow the climbing community.
Does cost remain a barrier to your participation? Simply fill out our scholarship questionnaire and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.
