What is Anybody But Dudes?
Anybody But Dudes (“ABD”) is a welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging climbing session designed for — you guessed it — anybody but dudes*! These meet-ups are all about connecting with new climbing partners, building skills, and cheering each other on while we climb.
* We know “anybody but dudes” sounds a bit broad — that’s intentional. People don’t fit neatly into boxes, and we don’t want to draw hard lines. Our aim is to create an inclusive and encouraging space for women, non-binary, trans, and LGBTQ+ climbers. If that sounds like you, we’d love to have you join us!
** Please note: N3C is always open to everyone during ABD. Dudes are welcome to climb at these times — we just ask that you be mindful of the ABD group, the same way you would with any other coached session, like our youth climbing teams.
Anybody But Dudes Meet:
Tuesdays
6pm-8pm
Join an Anybody But Dudes Session
Climb with this fantastic crew on Tuesdays from 6–8 PM! Sessions are free with a membership or day pass. Arrive at 6 PM for group stretching and conversation — or drop in anytime. Each week starts with a fun icebreaker, then we dive into bouldering or rope climbing, ending with an optional mini workout. A second weekly meeting will return later this fall. Get all the latest updates, schedule changes, and announcements from Haley and Sarah by signing up for email updates.
Meet the Anybody But Dudes (ABD) Leaders!
Sarah Sallade
Co- Leader
I have been climbing for close to 20 years with varying levels of intensity. Now a mama of two small children it’s hard to find a climbing community. I wanted to start an ABD night to create a general sense of camaraderie, provide a platform to meet new partners, and ensure a welcoming atmosphere to both new and experienced climbers where we can all learn from each other.
Haley Chadburn
Co- Leader
Having discovered my love for rock climbing right here at North Country Climbing when I was 14 years old, the community holds a special place in my life. I am very excited to be involved in leading a group of incredible women and gender-nonconforming individuals. I hope to help foster an environment where we can encourage each other and learn new skills both indoors and out.
