A Sheffield climbing wall is hosting this year’s Women’s Climbing Symposium, an event that aims to positively impact women in the sport.

The Climbing Hangar, on Sutherland Street, Sharrow, is facilitating this year’s event, taking place on International Women’s Day, Saturday 8 March.

This will be the second year The Climbing Hangar Sheffield has hosted the symposium.

Geegee Morrison, a crew member at The Hangar who is helping at the event, said: “We are going to be using our past experience to try and provide a really fun and incredible event and make sure that everyone can feel included.

“It’s an incredibly supportive day, it’s a really fun time. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of it the last few years.”

A selection of guest speakers and coaches will run focus talks and workshops throughout the day.

This year’s Symposium headline speakers are British bouldering champion and 2024 Paris Olympian Erin McNeice, and British alpinist and North Face athlete Fay Manners.

Erin McNeice took on the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning fifth place in the combined boulder and lead event.
