While the stereotype of rock climbers is that of macho thrill seekers, the reality is far different. Climbers come in all shapes, sizes and ages. One common quality amongst all climbers, though, is that they are looking for an alternative to traditional sport. Some feel out of place in mainstream athletic culture, or need a change from the repetition and routine of standard workouts. They enjoy the problem solving aspects of climbing, its skill, and its social atmosphere.
Women make up one the fastest growing segments involved in climbing. Climbing is a sport demanding balance
and flexibility, not just strength. Climbing gyms, with their dozens of climbs set at all different levels, allow participants at any level of ability to find a climb that matches where they are.
To encourage participation, the Junction has set aside monthly nights after our regular hours just for women.
These nights have been popular with women looking for a way to try climbing in a supportive atmosphere, or for a break from traditional workouts. They happen monthly from 8pm to 10pm on Saturday nights. Regular workout clothes are all that is required, rental equipment is available and our friendly staff will orient any first-timers to the facility and how it works. See you there!
