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.

Show Up for Something Bigger
💥 WalkGood LA

The biggest celebration of women and non-binary climbers is all about giving back. Each year, we donate 100% of the proceeds from Woman Up to a non-profit that increases diversity in the climbing and outdoor recreation world.

This year, we’re thrilled to announce WalkGood LA as the 2026 beneficiary 🙌. WalkGood LA is a nonprofit wellness organization dedicated to creating spaces for healing through community-based movement and mindfulness.

Whether competing 💪, attending the kickoff party 🎉, shopping the market 🛍️, or simply showing up, you’re investing in a future where more people have access to movement, connection, and spaces where they truly belong.

In addition to supporting an amazing organization, you’ll also see and have the option to participate in insane climbing, join a blow-out rodeo-themed party, meet creative makers and connect with the biggest outdoor brands in our community market, and so much more.
