Also just saying, kudo's to Kim Reynolds for awesome interview printed in latest issue of Rock and Ice, (#216,pg 28) and all her efforts for Chicks With Pics, fundraising for Tri County Womens Resource Center, and more. Great to read, the honors are well due.

Kim Reynolds is definitely a legend, her accomplishments speak for themselves. Just to be clear-- these events are not associated with the Chicks with picks events, as we focus soley on rock climbing and are in an entirely different location. Kudos to all who get more women involved in this male dominated sport.

Sorry for any misleading info...yes, the rock 'Chicks is totally separate from the winter ice locations and events. Both great ideas,,best all womens outings since the long ago AWHE mountaineering expedition teams inspired by Arlene Blum starting back in late 70's.

The Chicks' Rock programs are awesome-- I haven't been to one myself, but I know a number of women who have had great experiences at their events.

Some of the things that makes Chicks With Nuts unlike any other women's climbing programs are that it is the only educational Women's climbing event in Seneca Rocks,WV, we maintain a 2:1 student to instructor ratio, we focus primarily on multi-pitch climbing, we include camping, breakfast both mornings, & Saturday night dinner, and we have access to a unique indoor facility in case of rain.

The important thing is that there are more women out there climbing-- the more Women's climbing programs, the better! We hope you give ours a try!

I remember seeing the class overview info from links from CWP several years ago...was actually surprised that it took longer to get the rock thing going than it did for ice climbing! I have totally supported both for years; still have all of my original CWP t-shirts from the first 8 design years....they are always a great topic of discussion and get much attention and comments when worn.

Hopefully you're psyched to add some Chicks With Nuts shirts to your collection of women's climbing program t-shirts. You can buy them on our website here: chickswithnuts.com/#!contac…

! Psyched ! Didn't know they had them,,as the CWP has stopped making new ice ones each year long ago, so figured the whole shirt thing was in the past. Will check 'em out.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
