No excuses; wrong beta - no losses just lessons 🧘🏻‍♂️

A South Bay kind of Sunday ☀️

Celebrated 20 years of @oursouthbay with @mslucyliu and new friends 🎉

Then headed to @class5gym for the Woman Up Climbing Festival, where I got to catch @ellrubin give a talk and premiere her film — plus watch and cheer on some ridiculously strong climbers.

Even better? Proceeds from the festival are supporting @walkgoodla, making an impact beyond the climbing wall. (@mrflight I name-dropped you!) 🧡

We are strong 🧗‍♀️

📽️ Exclusive Premiere: HOMEcoming — The Ellie Rubin Story 📽️

As part of Woman Up 2026’s 🤸‍♀️ keynote presentation, we’re proud to premiere Homecoming. This new documentary 🎞️ by @outpostcinema follows Touchstone athlete and USA Para Climbing National Team member @ellrubin 🙌.

Born in Busan, South Korea, with one hand and adopted by a family in the United States as an infant, Ellie discovered competitive para climbing as an adult—eventually becoming a World Cup silver medalist and one of the country’s top para climbers.

Homecoming follows Ellie as she prepares for one of the most meaningful competitions of her career: the Para Climbing World Championships in South Korea, marking her first return to her birth country in decades.

The film explores the complicated meaning of coming home—to a place that is part of who you are, but where your life could have unfolded very differently. It’s a story about family, identity, resilience, strength, and so much more.

Join us at Woman Up for Ellie Rubin’s keynote presentation and the exclusive premiere of Homecoming.

For a group of elite paraclimbers, success is measured not only in routes climbed but in resilience, stoke and community.

In Beyond the Wall, writer and photographer Laura Szanto follows six adaptive climbers who share a deep understanding of what it takes to compete, thrive and have fun in the vertical realm while building a supportive paraclimbing community.

Read the full story at the link in our bio.
