I had the pleasure to be on a panel with this dear woman back in 2018. It was a life changing experience to be in the presence of this amazing elder. Her inspirational wisdom and generosity to share helped forge the motivation to elevate the vision of Brown Girls Climbing Program. We are forever grateful for her time, dedication and leadership.
Rest in Power.

Brown Girls Climbing Team starts Fall s2 this week! Fall in the E. Bay is perfect weather for an intensive outdoor rock climbing module. All 3 teams dive into bouldering and rope climbing during these gorgeous 70 degree weather afternoons. This season the Competition Team not only sets their own top rope anchors to climb but also takes the sharp end, sport climbing outside next weekend at Castle Rock in Los Gatos! Aging in members of the Peak Team (10+ yr old), focus outdoor safety management, proper belaying, voice and confidence this session. Getting to the top is just a part of the experience. Feeling confident about the process and the system supporting the journey is the value of learning more than climbing. The Ascent Team (ages 7-9), excited to explore the world of climbing are stepping into the pedagogy of movement w/footwork and fundamentals. This is their first time. Organic on rock, free and sovereign in exploration!
We're just getting adventures started in the 2925-26 season and is the 2nd session! There's room for more to join in our community!

From the tennis court to the crag, we continue to rise!
Taylor Townsend is moving on at the US Open and she did it with skill and grace. Even after her opponent tried to throw shade, calling her “uneducated” and “no class,” Taylor showed exactly what winning with poise looks like.
We’re beyond proud of this queen for not only securing the W, but proving that talent + confidence speak louder than any bitter words.
