We’re still basking in the glow 😎 from Woman Up 2026 this past weekend.

To put it mildly, it was an incredible event 🎆🤸‍♀️💥🦄—thanks to our many community market participants, WalkGood LA, Touchstone Routesetters, Ellie Rubin, Claire, , Sara W**d, Outpost Digital Cinema, , and Aika Watanabe. Not to forget all of you amazing women and non-binary climbers, all the allies and supporters, and, of course, the insanely impressive Open finalists who competed in the nail-biting Finals.

We’re happy to say photos are up on Flickr. Check the link 🖇️ in bio—photobooth images on the way soon!

Huge congrats 🥳 to our three winners:

🥇Cate Harty ♡
🥈Analise
🥉Claire Lin

There’s a lot more to say about this fabulous weekend, but we’ll end for now with a massive virtual hug 🤗 to all of the exceptional humans who made this event so special for all of us. We couldn’t be more grateful 🙌, and we’re sincerely sorry we can’t name you all or if we left anyone who we should have named out.

📸 cred to the always amazing 📷 Fred Pompermayer, Sabrina Claros, and oldmanmoon.

Happening Right Now 🙌

You still have time to join us for Ellie Rubin ‘s keynote and finals!

The climbing has been 🔥, the beats are pumping 🔊, and the community has shown up 🙌.

All Finals Athletes get Flashed Bags. And in case you thought it couldn’t get any better, well—Aika handmade bolo slides for our trophies for this year’s winners 🥉🥈🥇.  

Fun Fact: The bolo slide rings have Owyhee Jasper stones, and we couldn’t be more impressed with Aika’s handywork 😍. She also happens to be a former routesetter, and you should definitely follow her at Aika Watanabe.

So far, this weekend has been a blast, and we can’t wait for Ellie’s film release, keynote, and then the Open Finals throwdown 💥

If you can’t make it out, check the livestream (link 🖇️in bio).

It’s gonna be a blast.
