Welcome to Texas Lady Crushers!
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to cultivate an inclusive, educational and supportive space for women and non-gender conforming individuals who share a passion for climbing. Whether you have been “crushing” (climber-slang for “climbing hard”) since day one or you want to try a new activity, you are welcome at any of our meet-ups.
