Bolt & Revolt Setting Coalition

Bolt & Revolt! Setting Coalition is a 501 3(c) non-profit creating a global coalition of women, non-binary, trans & genderqueer climbing setters that creates space to uplift, support, & empower our community.

Creating Opportunities

Bolt & Revolt offers affordable routesetting classes for women, trans. non-binary, and genderqueer taught by women, trans, non-binary, and genderqueer route setters. Each clinic will have two sponsorships reserved for those of marginalized backgrounds who cannot afford to attend.

Providing Support

After completing B&R setting clinics, we offer assistance for attendees with our routesetting mentorship program and virtual community spaces for women and genderqueer routesetters.
