The AAC wouldn’t be the Club we are today without the work of womxn of all walks of life. Today, this month, and year-round, we celebrate the accomplishments—both on and off the climbing wall—of female and non-binary climbers, mountaineers, and advocates. Thank you all for being here.

HOW DOES THE AAC SUPPORT FEMALE CLIMBERS?

• We support women's initiatives by partnering with groups like Brown Girls Climb, Outdoor Women's Alliance, and FlashFoxy.

• We're working a a chapter-by-chapter level to support other local women's events and initiatives.
