Rock Chicks Climbing
ABOUT ROCK CHICKS CLIMBING
In 2012, Delaney Carpenter founded the Rock Chicks Climbing Community. The purpose was and still is simple: to create a climbing community for women in the sport and to give back to the environment, our fellow climbers and any others we can help along the way.
As a result, Rock Chicks has become more than just a website for a community of climbers: it has now found its purpose. Any woman climber wishing to join a community of like-minded individuals and make a difference in the world is invited to join us. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
