Does ANY of the following apply to you?
You feel like you have to climb harder to belong in the climbing community
You wish you could have more fun
Give your leads away or prioritize your partner’s objective over yours
Tend to overthink your climbs
Unless you are sending you are not really having fun
Often feel that the climbs are too reachy, too steep, and holds are too small
Shy away from trying difficult climbs, stay small
Tend to find danger everywhere
Don’t like being seen performing poorly
Unless you control others and circumstances it’s hard for you to enjoy climbing
Get easily distracted, having a hard time concentrating on the climb at hand
If you struggle with ANY of these & would like to STOP, this workshop is for you!
Come to this workshop. Be honest with yourself and zone in on your values. Be vulnerable! Telling others about a goal makes it more likely to happen. I loved figuring out our personal mantras. I use mine every time I climb!

What a great and illuminating workshop.
I especially enjoyed taking the time to sit down with fellow climbers. We worked through the process of goal setting through both logic and meditation, dreaming and practicality. This kind of work is not possible on one’s own. Highly recommended!
- Carolyn
What I really got out of this work is reflecting on which goals are actually MINE. There was great content on how to choose if a goal is right for you, considering external influences on your goals. It was illuminating to realize how I view difficulties as obstacles vs excuses.

Meet your Guides:
Kelly Fields
(she/her) founder/owner/operator of Athena Rock Climbing
From the tender age of two, Kelly was out exploring and scaling mountains with her family all over the country. Kelly’s real passion has always been for traditional adventure climbing and she has an impressive list of accomplishments and first ascents to her name.
At 18 Kelly ran from the concrete jungle to the hills of West Virginia to begin an apprenticeship with the highly respected Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides. It was there that Kelly found her calling as a climbing guide. In 2011 she founded Athena Rock Climbing (as Chicks With Nuts), a series of women’s only climbing events designed to help women advance their skills together on the rock. Kelly traveled cross country to complete her continuing education through the Professional Climbing Guide Institute in the winter of 2015 in Joshua Tree. Quickly after that, Kelly migrated to the desert to fulfill her dream of guiding year-round.
Kelly is now living her dream of guiding countrywide. She became the first female guide to attain the Multi-Pitch Guide certification through the PCGI in 2019. Kelly’s quick and quirky sense of humor, her excellent technical climbing skills, and her dedication to her craft make any day out with her extra special.
