THANK YOU!
To everyone who attended Woman Up Climbing Festival 2024—THANK YOU! It was so fun seeing the Southern California climbing community uplift one another and crush it on the wall. We hope you all had as much fun at the festival as we had organizing it.
ABOUT WOMAN UP 2024
Touchstone’s Fifth Annual Woman Up Climbing Festival was brought to you by Touchstone Climbing + Flashed Climbing. 2024’s event was hosted at Cliffs of Id from February 9th – 11th. Woman Up 2024’s proceeds were donated to Bolt and Revolt—a non-profit creating a global coalition of women, non-binary, trans, & genderqueer climbing setters that creates space to uplift, support, and empower our community.
COMPETITION
Our fifth annual Woman Up competition was nothing short of incredible! After battling their way through the Qualifiers, only six competitors made it to the onsight Finals round to go head-to-head for a $10,000 cash purse!
| Open Finals Ranking | Name |
|---|---|
| 1st | Kyra Condie |
| 2nd | Helen Gillet |
| 3rd | Cloe Coscoy |
| 4th | Kylie Cullen |
| 5th | Alannah Yip |
| 6th | Sienna Kopf |
We were psyched to see so many climbers hyping each other up and cheering as everyone pushed themselves to their limits in our Citizens competition. What an impressive turnout of everyday crushers from the extra-pep-in-their-step newbies to the Olympic athletes! You can find the scores for the Citizens Competition here.
THE ROUTESETTERS
Of the many things that make the Woman Up Climbing Festival so special is our all-women and nonbinary routesetting crew. In 2024, Touchstone’s very own Claire Miller led the talented group of setters for the first time and absolutely crushed it!
