Welcome! To A New Space-

Welcome to Climbing Wild Iris!

Climbing Wild Iris was created with the intention of making everyone who comes across it feel welcome.

This is a space for women and non-binary climbers who, at times, can feel overlooked in a sport that feels incredibly male-dominated still today. When I first started climbing, I quickly realized how intimidating it could be not only because I was new and not very good, but because of the environment itself.

Climbing can be one of the most uplifting and supportive communities, but it can also feel scary and overwhelming. For me gear felt expensive, instragram posts didn't answer my questions, and learning how to climb better was confusing. And it wasn’t always easy to find spaces that truly felt supportive.

That’s why I built this site.

Climbing Wild Iris exists to share resources, stories, and encouragement for anyone who wants to climb with confidence, and find more information. Whether you’re just starting out or pushing into more advanced projects, you’ll find insights on routesetting, training, gear, and community here. A space where you can come and feel like someone behind the screen actually cares.

Welcome to Climbing Wild Iris. I’m really really glad you’re here!
