Black Diamond Presents: Texas Lady Crushers

Our first retreat at Hueco Tanks in March 2020 exhibited the value of professional instruction to both me and the attendees. Due to the pandemic and our growth, I decided to put our free meetups on hold. TxLC began hiring guiding companies in September 2020 as part of its regular programming. Although it limited the number of attendees, it provided top-notch education in a more controlled environment.

While I love my hometown, San Antonio had no public lands that permitted climbing at the time. On the other hand, the Austin-area had plenty of limestone crags and a beautiful pink granite dome not too far away. I began going there as much as I could in the beginning of 2017.

In September 2017, I received a random Facebook message from a local female climber. She was looking for help with a women’s climbing event at Reimers Ranch and I quickly agreed.
