Ever wondered what it’s actually like to try rock climbing for the first time—or join a women’s rock climbing retreat?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kate, our longtime Team Alpine coach and certified AMGA Single Pitch Instructor, to talk all about our Joshua Tree Women's Rock Climbing Retreat and why this kind of guided outdoor experience can be a total game-changer.

Whether you’re climbing-curious, craving a new challenge, or just looking for a supportive space to try something new, this episode pulls back the curtain on what really happens during one of our favorite annual retreats.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What it’s like to go from “I’m not a climber” to actually climbing outside
  • Common fears women have about trying outdoor climbing—and how we help you through them
  • Why guided experiences are such a powerful first step (and no, you don’t need any gear!)
  • A full breakdown of what our Joshua Tree retreat includes: climbing, camping, yoga, s’mores + more
  • Real client stories, identity shifts, and what makes these retreats so damn special

If you’ve ever been even a little bit curious about climbing… this is your sign to explore it. 🎧
