Women's Climbing Symposium 2017 at Bristol's Bloc Climbing
Posted on: 13 Jun 2017The 7th annual Women’s Climbing Symposium will take place on Saturday 4th November 2017 at Bloc Climbing in Bristol. Headline speakers, focus talks and coaching workshops are all on the day's schedule.
This event is a celebration of both climbing and women's sport in general. Climbing is a great way of improving strength and conditioning without the need to visit the gym and you don't need a climbing partner as you can take part individually or as a group.
Founded and organised by the inspirational Shauna Coxsey, in recent years Catherine Destivelle, Lisa Rands, Caroline Ciavaldini, Hazel Findlay, Jo Pavey and Rachel Atherton have provided the tools for participants to achieve their goals.
In 2016 WCS was recognised by the Women's SportTrust #BeAGamechanger awards for raising the visibility and increasing the impact of women's sport.
Tickets include access to all three headline speaker slots, two focus talks and two coaching workshops. They are now on general sale and priced at £68. To purchase tickets simply head to www.womensclimbingsymposium.com and scroll to the bottom of the page.
