Women's Rock Climbing Weekend
June 26-27, 2010 Presented by Outdoor Research

Can you believe it? 18 years of Women's Rock Climbing Weekends has come and gone!
That’s right, the 18th annual Women’s Rock Weekend was a great success!

The ropes are away, the climbing is done, thank you everyone who made this a fabulous weekend.

Women's Rock Weekend, hosted by International Mountain Climbing School and International Mountain Equipment, is the premier summer climbing event here in North Conway. We offer two days of women's climbing clinics taught by professional women guides, plus an après-climb community party, a women's dinner, inspiring slide show, and a silent auction to benefit a charity.
We are delighted to announce that we have donated $600 to this years beneficiary, Girls Education International, a Colorado-based nonprofit organization that works to expand educational opportunities for underserved girls and women in remote and undeveloped regions of the world.

This years Slide Show was by Heidi Wirtz. Just in case you haven't heard of her - this is one incredibly talented woman with a dedication to philanthropy that is as great as her climbing ability. The North Face athlete has climbed all over the world and the slide show was about her trips to Pakistan, Australia, Nepal, and Morocco. She will also highlight her "proudest send" - the first all-female free ascent of the South Howser Tower of the Bugaboos in Canada.

Our guest guides this year were Emilie Drinkwater, Heidi Wirtz, Lizzy Scully, Sarah Garlick, Kayte Knower and Janet Bergman, and thanks to Jen Reed, Anna Condino and Craig Taylor.

We would like to thank this Years title sponsor, Outdoor Research, and supporting sponsors Mammut, La Sportiva, The American Alpine Club,, The North Face, Climb Bling, New England Ropes, Julbo, Mountain Hardwear, Scarpa and Wild Things. and all those who donated time and product for the event.

We look forward to seeing everyone back next year for the 19th Annual Women's Rock Weekend!
