The CLAW Sisterhood: Women-Only Climbing Meetups in India
Welcome to our circle. Whether you have never touched a climbing wall or you are already crushing routes, this is your safe space to climb, laugh, and find your crew.
Meet Shweta, our amazing Delhi Team Leader! Her warmth and experience have been key to making our events so welcoming. She's a perfect example of the incredible women leading our community.

The smiles say it all! A candid moment with some of our amazing climbers. These are the connections that make our annual events in places like Hampi so special.
Did you know we're a registered NGO? This allows us to empower more women through climbing and outdoor adventures. This photo from Badami captures the diverse and strong women who are part of our journey.
"I thought, an introvert such as myself, there was miniscule scope of growth for me." Tanya's story is a powerful reminder of how our community can change perspectives and build confidence.
Tanya and the Delhi crew at Climb City! This photo from her second CLAW meetup shows the fun and playful energy of our community. It's about building each other up, literally and figuratively.
This was Tanya's very first CLAW session. It's amazing to see how quickly new members become part of the family. We love creating these welcoming spaces for women climbers.
Tanya's climbing journey continues! This collage shows her progress and involvement, from bouldering to workouts. It's a testament to the growth and strength found within our community.

About The CLAW Sisterhood
We start every session with a clear focus on safety and technique, but the real work happens in the cheering squad behind you. You do not need to bring your own gear or have done this before, as we provide everything you need and our 1:6 instructor ratio ensures you get the personal attention required to get comfortable on the wall. Come exactly as you are, and we will take care of the rest.
More Than Just A Workout
We started CLAW because we wanted a space where being 'rowdy and rambunctious' was the goal, not something to hide. Our meetups in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad are designed for that. You show up, we sort you out with shoes and harnesses, and our instructors walk you through the basics like Figure-8 knots and falling techniques.
What To Expect
- Beginner-Friendly: Never climbed? No tension, yaar. The first hour of every session is dedicated to basics. We teach you how to climb safely so you can focus on the fun part.
- Community First: It is not about competing. It is about swapping beta with your new friends and pushing yourself because you want to, not because you have to.
- Safe Space: If you are nervous, you are not alone. That is exactly why we are here. We believe in building a sisterhood where you can fall, laugh, and be yourself without anyone telling you how to act.
How We Work
We are a registered NGO, and our mission is to make the outdoors real and accessible. We partner with local gyms to host these meetups, bringing the community together to share stories, overcome fears, and break barriers. Come grab a session, meet the community, and let us show you why we say 'Chale!' (Let's go!)
Climb Like a Woman
We are CLAW, an all-women non-profit that started because we wanted a place to climb without the pressure. We are here to make sure you have a safe, supportive group of women to cheer you on, whether it is your first time or your hundredth.
