For decades, the sport of climbing seemed to be “a guy thing” until a group of elite women climbers in the 1990s changed the landscape of the sport forever.

Free-lance journalist and climber Noël Phillips discusses the growing popularity of climbing for women at all levels. Her articles, “No Man’s Land: The Rise of Women in Climbing” and “Safe Outside: The Facts About Sexual Harassment and Assault in the Climbing Community” were published in Climbing Magazine.
