The story of why we are Mum's Gone Climbing

​

Hey, my name is Nell and I am the founder of MGC. Once upon a time in my mid twenties I was just discovering climbing when I fell pregnant. My climbing community consisted of mostly men, and I didn't know any mothers who climbed. I literally had no role models, so I did what I thought was the right thing and stopped climbing immediately. 

​

Our son was born with a rare genetic syndrome, and motherhood became a series of specialist appointments, therapy sessions, and WTF moments. Five years, and another baby later, I FINALLY stuffed my mama feet back into climbing shoes. It was a pivotal moment. 

​

Climbing seemed like a wonder drug for the challenges of motherhood, and I went on a mission to find other climb mama’s. What I found was a tribe of amazing women. Each with their own story, struggles, limitations, fears.... and every single one had been empowered by climbing.

​

This is how Mum's Gone Climbing began, and the journey is still unfolding. With the dedication of a small group of climbing mums we are continually growing and exploring new ways to help support and inspire our community.
