"Do I need to be fit to join?" We get this question a lot! The answer is no, you can take climbing at your own pace. This FAQ is from our annual Hampi event.

About Join An Event
Don't stress about being fit or having gear, because you do not need either to get started with us. Every 3-hour beginner workshop we host includes gym entry, all the gear you need, and a proper safety introduction, so you can just show up, meet the crew, and climb at your own pace.
Your First Climb With Us
We know that walking into a climbing gym for the first time can feel intimidating, which is why we strip away the pressure. Our workshops are designed to be a safe, supportive space for women and girls. We keep our instructor-to-participant ratio low, usually 1:6 or 1:8, so you always have someone looking out for your safety and helping you with techniques like belaying, knot tying, and falling safely.
What To Expect
- No Experience Needed: Seriously. Whether you've never touched a wall or you've been climbing for years, there is a spot for you.
- We've Got You Covered: The workshop fee covers your gym entry, climbing shoes, harness, and chalk. Just bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothes.
- The Vibe: It is not a competition. It is about swapping tips, sharing beta, and having a laugh when you inevitably wobble. We are an NGO, not a commercial gym, and that community spirit is the heart of everything we do.
Where We Climb
We partner with local climbing gyms in cities including Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad. We love returning to gyms that share our values, like the Climbing Asylum in Kolkata, to foster local communities. If you are not near one of our regular gym meetups, keep an eye out for our annual outdoor climbing festivals in places like Hampi, where we take our workshops to real rock.
Climb Like a Woman
We are CLAW, an all-women-led climbing non-profit on a mission to make the outdoors safe and real. We don't care about experience levels, we care about cheering each other on, finding our feet, and building a sisterhood one climb at a time. Chale!
