What we’re about
Rock Climbing is about experiences, passion, excitement, enjoying your surroundings, being with people you care about, enjoying the process, trying something new, getting lost in the moment, and going for it!
The Seattle Rock Climbing Group is a place to discover the power of community, to be a part of something you care about, meet new people, learn new skills, find some partners, and get outside.
We climb all over Washington and often take trips further afield into Canada, Idaho and Oregon, and we organize the odd trip to other exciting locations and so far have explored Nevada, Utah, Kentucky, California, South Dakota, Wyoming, Puerto Rico and Cuba.
All are welcome, beginners, intermediate, advanced whether you've been outdoors before or not.
Upcoming events (4+)

Top rope or lead. Beginners, intermediate, advanced, all are welcome whether you've been outdoors before or not.
