Outdoor Educational
Climbing Clinics

As a very new climber with no outdoor experience and minimal gym experience, I found these clinics to be invaluable. Even at my newbie skill level, I always felt comfortable and was able to challenge myself without feeling overwhelmed. Chelsea is an AMAZING coach and takes time to make sure you learn the correct and safe way to do things. I would recommend these clinics to any climber!

The sliding scale model that SSC utilizes for their outdoor educational clinics allowed me to take more than one course and allowed me to seek additional training that I otherwise could not have afforded to do so. Thank you!! I'd love to see the sliding scale continue for others to utilize!

She Sends Collective clinics are catered to each participant's level and skill - not pushing too hard, but also offering the opportunity for challenge! As a beginner, these clinics have created a beautiful, welcoming environment focused on support and enjoyment. Each clinic is an amazing combination of practical skills, mental framework, and overall climbing etiquette, language and culture. Chelsea is a dream to work with: incredibly experienced, down-to-earth and an enjoyable woman to be around!

As a Human Resources consultant in the corporate world, I couldn't have asked for better coaches who took my perspective and experience into consideration when deciding how best to help me learn and challenge me to grow. Chelsea provided not only a safe space to confront my fears, but also helped me understand that being connected to the earth and trusting myself with my climbing partners is the safest place to be when climbing outdoors. There is no rush to get to the top, and the best part about being outside is the people you're with. For me, climbing rocks is more about the community and the empowerment that we can do incredible things we didn't think we could do and we get to do them together. Very much looking forward to more outdoor clinics with this badass group!

She Sends Collective clinics are an optimal way to become a more confident and mindful climber. I felt highly supported in The Fear to Courage course, which allowed me to intentionally push my limits. Chelsea was a thoughtful, knowledgeable coach, and guided our small group of badass women through fear management tactics and hands-on climbing skills (such as route assessment). After completing the clinic I feel more equipped to lead climb with confidence!

My overall experience was amazing. Crack climbing is the hardest style of climbing I have ever done, yet so incredibly rewarding and fun. I didn’t think I would walk away liking it as much as I did. SSC is certainly to blame for this—the guides and women on this trip fostered the perfect space needed for a supportive and encouraging environment to learn crack climbing. Can’t sing enough praises to all those involved with SSC! Thanks for doing what you do and making climbing and climbing education more accessible and inclusive to us all! <3

The creation of a space for women and GNC folx was really important, and is something I have been seeking as someone new to bouldering. The creation of such a space by She Sends allowed me to feel safe and comfortable as I was vulnerable in trying something new (i.e., bouldering). It was empowering to be with other women who were there to lift each other up. Chelsea was incredibly approachable, humble, skilled, knowledgeable, and fun. She created an affirming and encouraging environment for us as new climbers. I definitely left the clinic having met my goals. In particular, I learned concrete strategies for footwork (e.g., toe placement, heel hooks) that will allow me to take my skill set to the next level, and help me avoid putting strain on my upper body and hopefully avoid injury. It was also helpful to learn about pad placement and safety. I also was grateful to walk away with new bouldering spots that I can return to as a beginner to continue practicing and increase my confidence.
