Flash Foxy originated to empower women climbers and offer a virtual space to connect over climbing, being outside together and building community. The inaugural Women’s Climbing Festival in 2016 helped us establish an alternate climbing space in real life that did not center cisgender men. The climbing community is not static and Flash Foxy has adapted over the years to meet the needs of its membership as they grow, change and continue to self-actualize.

Presently, Flash Foxy stands with the women and genderqueer community - including but not limited to gender non-conforming folks - who need a space to pursue their love of the sport without having to deal with historic barriers to access.
