The Citizen Competition and Open Comp come together for a full-spectrum climbing event celebrating everything from community stoke to elite performance. The Citizen Competition offers a welcoming, self-scored format set by an all-female and nonbinary routesetting team—perfect for climbers looking to challenge themselves in a supportive, high-energy environment. On the other end, the Open Comp showcases top-tier athletes competing for a $10,000 cash purse, beginning with an onsight qualifier and culminating in a Finals round featuring the top six competitors. Whether you're there to push your limits or watch the strongest climbers throw down, there’s something here for everyone.

Woman Up 2026 clinics will take place across multiple Touchstone gyms in California. By expanding beyond a single location, we can reach more of our community and create greater access and opportunities to participate.

Get ready to cheer, support, and soak up the stoke at WomanUp! Spectators just need a waiver on file to join the fun, score chances at free swag during the Open Comp, and help make a difference, as 100% of the proceeds from competition fees and spectator passes will be donated to a non-profit that increases diversity in the climbing and outdoor recreation world.

Help make the magic happen! We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to judge, monitor competition lines, operate cameras, and be card runners during this year’s Woman Up Climbing Festival.

No prior experience is necessary—just an attentive eye, a love for climbing, and a supportive spirit. You’ll get a front-row seat to the action, help keep things fair and fun, and be part of the crew that brings this event to life.
