• Red Chili x Grimpeuses

The French association “Grimpeuses” has been pushing women in climbing since 2018! The focus is on a cool, motivating community that supports each other. The aim is to inspire more women to climb and create an environment in which trust and team spirit are paramount.

Climbing should be accessible and inviting for everyone - which is why Grimpeuses is fighting against old barriers and focusing on inclusion. At the events in France, there is an atmosphere of support and empowerment so that every participant can reach their full potential!
