Femme Foundations

Femme Foundations was created by Professional Climber, Guide and Coach, Chelsea Rude exclusively at G1 Climbing + Fitness. All Femme Foundations clinics are made specifically for women and gender queer climbers 18+ , who want to uplift the feminine experience within the sport. Chelsea has been coaching for 18 years, focusing specifically on when and gender queer climbers for the last decade. She’s also an AMGA certified Single Pitch Instructor and Owner + Guide at She Sends Collective. She approaches climbing, and her teaching, as an opportunity for self discovery and growth in mental, physical and emotional intelligence and confidence, but also a space for play, release, and exploration.
