About Us

The Women’s Tree Climbing Workshop® started in 2009.  It began from a frequently repeated question, "How'd you learn how to climb?" So, with an idea and an ask of fellow amazing women, what if we just build it, will they come?

 

The WTCW has developed more courses than just tree climbing.  With an all-women led team, our focus is to provide women with the skills and knowledge they need to develop their skills with confidence and safety.  

 

We are a passionate team who focus on the different styles of learning. We know what has worked for us personally to excel and want to share our paths, our challenges and our successes.  

Our instructors approach teaching and coaching as they do their careers and off-time: with dedication, curiosity, intention, and fun.
