I wish we lived in the same place so we could climb together! I reeeally want to start climbing regularly, but I'm scared of being lonely at the gym. Kudos to you for sticking it out for 6 months before you were able to make friends!

The MYOG subreddit is so cool. I actually have a cousin who started sewing his own packrafting gear and then he turned it into a business: https://sockdolagerequipment.com/

Ok, I did a lil research and Movement in Chicago has a Women's climb night on the 3rd Thursday every month. You should go! Everyone else will be looking for connection too! https://movementgyms.com/lincoln-park/climbing/meetups/

(Also I wish we could climb together, too. I gotta visit!)

Your cousin's stuff is so good!! The custom bag builder?!

Ahhh you're so kind to do that research! I actually did a little tour of the Movement gym and have been trying to work up the courage to go back and make it official. Thank you for this very loving push!! <3
