SATURDAY 13 NOVEMBER at THE CLIMBING HANGAR, SHEFFIELD 

Still celebrating our (somewhat extended) tenth anniversary year, the Women's Climbing Symposium is back in real life to connect, develop and inspire women's climbing through collective climbing experiences, the latest research and the best coaching. 

In partnership with adidas Five Ten, this year's flagship event will take place at the brand new Climbing Hangar, Sheffield on Saturday 13 November, with a super packed programme of talks, workshops and special treats. Keep an eye out for headline announcements and session updates over the coming days!

Shauna Coxsey, WCS Founder, World Champion Boulderer and Olympian says: "After a huge effort to keep the WCS community connected, developed and inspired during several lockdowns, we are so pleased to be back IN REAL LIFE! We can't wait to see you in Sheffield on 13 November!"

Lucy Speakman, Director Outdoor UK, adidas says: "We are proud to be connected to such a strong community, and are looking forward to making this event a fantastic one for you. You all inspire us."

Ged MacDohmnaill, Founder and CEO of The Climbing Hangar says: "I am so psyched to be welcoming the WCS back to The Climbing Hangar where it all began in 2011 and even more excited to be hosting it at our latest and biggest TCH venue in Sheffield! The Women's Climbing Symposium has always closely shared our values of welcoming new people into climbing and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere to encourage them to improve their climbing and make good friends along the way. After the challenges of the last couple of years, the WCS is more important than ever and we are so happy to be hosting it."
