Ladies at the 2010 Chicks with Picks Quickie

Hey Chicks, as we are entering our twelfth year, we are excited to be expanding our clinic offerings to meet even more climbers in epic new locations, but we want all of you to continue to feel like a real part of the Chicks family no matter if it’s been 2 months or 10 years since you last attended a clinic!

So, we’ve got a couple of fun new ways for you to actually be a part of the Chicks Climbing Web site both on the front page and in a regular blog post!

The first thing you may notice is that our main home page has no photo! Well, that’s where we want to put you! If you are an alumna of a Chicks With Picks or Chicks Rock clinic (and soon an alumna of our Girly Gatherings) we want to put your photos from the clinics you’ve attended on our home page! Please submit any and all photos you’ve taken at one of our clinics to our Flickr pool here (ChicksClimbingRockandIce) and we will put up a new photo on the main page of Chicks Climbing each week! All that we ask is you ID which clinic you attended and the year the photo was taken. Then watch the Web site to see which week YOU will be our “featured Chick!”

Another venture we want to promote is the many crazy cool things you ladies are all up to on the weekend! After a few weeks of watching your updates on Twitter and Facebook it’s clear that you are doing amazing and inspiring things all the time, and we want you to submit photos of exactly what adventures you are up to, so we can continue to inspire each other! Whatever it is you did last weekend – ran a marathon, did some multi-pitch at Yosemite, kayaked along the coast of Georgia, or gave local Girl Scouts a class on rappelling we want to see it! With the wealth of women athletes out there we think we could get some great beta exchanges between each other, so we will be posting the photos on a regular basis (once weekly is our aim if we get enough submissions!) on the Chicks Climbing blog. So please keep us up-to-date on what you’ve been up to by posting your photos on our Flickr pool here (ChicksClimbingRockandIce)!

Let us know if you have any questions or issues uploading your photos – you can reach out to us here by commenting on the blog, on our Facebook page, or through Twitter.

We’re looking forward to “seeing” you on Chicks!
