Welcome to Chicks Climbing!

Home of Women’s Rock and Ice Climbing

Chicks Climbing is the premier provider of women’s ice and rock climbing clinics in the U.S.!

- Kitty’s group works on V-threads during “The Complete” in an ice cave in the Scottish Gullies. This past weekend we wrapped up our 13th year (!!!!!) of Chicks with Picks events, which means we will be getting ready to ROCK very soon – with some exciting new clinics to announce, too! 

Chicks Climbing hosts two women’s programs in the vertical world! Chicks with Picks® has been Kicking Axe® with our ice climbing clinics in Ouray, Colorado for 13 years, while Chicks Rock, our rock climbing program is now in its third year! After more than a decade of teaching women to climb ice in Colorado we decided to shed our down coats, don our favorite tank tops, and take the show on the road! You can join us at our rock climbing clinics in Devil’s Lake, WI, Keene Valley, NY, New River Gorge, WV, and Red Rocks, NV, for some warm-weather climbing fun!

We teach women of all abilities how to rock and ice climb – yes girls, that means beginners too! Our clinics cater to women of all abilities and many one-time newbie Chicks return year after year to continue developing and improving on what they’ve learned. We create a super fun, safe and supportive atmosphere and give you access to our infamous Girly Guides. Our intensive 2, 3 and 4-day clinics offer an intimate 4-to-1 ratio that focus on taking your climbing to the next level. At a Chicks Climbing clinic you will gain the technical skills and confidence to be a more self-reliant climber and equal climbing partner on rock or ice.
