Welcome to Chicks Rock!
Brought to you by Chicks with Picks

Okay, girls, you finally get your way… Chicks with Picks is taking our infamous ice climbing clinics into the realm of rock climbing.  Shed your soft shell and don your favorite tank top… we’re taking it to the rocks!

Chicks has become well known for more than just climbing – our gals become solid climbers, learn self-reliance and gain confidence that funnels into everyday life. We not only climb hard all day, we also gather at night for dinners, discussions, slideshows and campfires. Chicks is as much about community as it is about climbing! We have created THE place for women to network, make friends and find climbing partners.

Our clinics have the reputation of being well-organized and they run like clockwork – this enables you to get more out of the experience than you ever imagined! Best of all, you get to climb with our famous Girly Guides which is always worth the price of admission. Chicks Rock will enable you to pursue your passion for rock climbing and take it to the next level in a super safe, supportive, fun atmosphere.

Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin
Three day “weekend”:
September 7-10, 2009

Located in the picturesque Baraboo Hills in south-central Wisconsin, Devil’s Lake State Park offers some of the best rock climbing in the Midwest. Surrounded on three sides by 1,400-foot bluffs, the Park is home to purple quartzite rock cliffs that measure a hundred feet in height, attracting climbers from all over the country. With 1600 rock climbs available to us, needless to say, there is no shortage of climbable rock in the park! We’d love to see you there with us in September!
