Colorado Clinics + Events

Since 2020, She Sends Collective has been committed to creating accessible climbing education opportunities for women and genderqueer climbers. We believe that high-quality instruction should be financially accessible to our community, and we’ve worked toward that vision through direct subsidization from our founder, through participants who choose to pay it forward for future climbers, and through donations.

We are equally committed to creating learning environments that feel safe, supportive, and inclusive. Through trauma-informed education provided to our guides and volunteers, we strive to better equip our team to hold space for the mental and emotional realities of climbing. Because climbing isn’t just a physical pursuit — it’s also deeply mental and emotional — our community deserves spaces where people can learn, grow, and feel supported.

All programs are offered through either a donation-based or tiered pricing model, allowing participants to contribute in a way that feels aligned with their financial situation. Additional financial assistance is always available if needed — we simply ask that you reach out to us directly at chelsea@shesendscollective.com.

Our education clinics and community events are currently open to women and TGNC climbers only.

Progression Packages

Progression Packages are a separate offering designed specifically as a clinic add-on opportunity for climbers who want continued support after participating in a She Sends clinic.

These highly discounted 1–2 day instruction packages are intended to help climbers continue practicing and applying the skills introduced during their clinic experience while receiving ongoing mentorship and personalized coaching.

Progression Packages are ideal for climbers who:

  • Want to continue building on clinic curriculum

  • Benefit from additional hands-on support outdoors

  • Want accountability and continued progression

  • Are seeking more confidence applying new skills independently

Because these packages are reserved specifically for clinic participants, they create a more accessible pathway for climbers to continue learning and growing beyond a single educational experience.

When you register for your clinic, you’ll see the option to opt into the Progression Package.

Dates: August 6, 13, 20 + 27

Location: Jefferson or Boulder County

  • Build confidence, consistency, and community with our 4-week outdoor climbing series designed specifically for femmes and thems ages 40+.

Anchors + Rappelling

Dates: August 8

Location: Jefferson County

    • Working knowledge of essential climbing equipment

    • How to build and clean common single-pitch sport anchors

    • How to set up and execute a rappel safely

    • How to move more confidently and independently in outdoor climbing spaces

    • Be able to safely top-rope belay

    • Climb a minimum of 5.8 on top rope

    • Feel comfortable tying in with a figure-8 follow-through knot

    • Be able to hike less than 1 mile on uneven terrain while carrying a pack

    There is no minimum outdoor climbing experience required.
