2024 MWCF (Sept. 6-8) was a hoot and a half, thank you for attending!
Stay tuned for 2025 dates
A community-focused climbing festival
Through our festival, we provide space for non-dominant genders to express themselves, climb, share stories, and make connections.
We bring Montanan climbers together by fostering allyship and self-reliance that serves and empowers beyond the rock.
Expect a stacked program with local speakers and experts over three days of camping and climbing. The event will start off Friday night with an indigenous-led talk about the land we play on and will merge into group connecting activities. In the morning, participants will share breakfast and hot drinks, morning yoga, and get ready for climbing and clinics.
Clinics will happen Saturday and Sunday and may include topics such as: gym to crag, fear of falling, climbing photography, etc. We support and staff female, genderqueer, adaptive, and BIPOC athletes, guides and speakers.
Located at Niitsítapi and Salish Kootenai Land (Hellgate Gulch, Montana)
Located just off the beaten path, the Women’s Climbing Festival is worth the adventure to get there. Just bring yourself—we’ll handle the rest.
