Testimonials

While I’ve climbed with friends here and there at local gyms and have even taken an outdoor course with another organization, I never felt the full support and acceptance of a group until after joining my first NSM trip at Exit 38, last summer. Everyone was so helpful, patient and most of all motivating and of course, just fun!

When I first moved to Seattle, I found Never Stop Moving and I have never looked back! I am so grateful to Megan and crew for being such a welcoming group, where I could train with other women who were also looking to improve their climbing while having a good time. The drills and training plan added order and organization to my climbing, helping me overcome plateaus and advance to the next level. Also, I love all the climbing trips that Megan organizes - from Vantage to Mazama and all the way up to Squamish, I feel like I’ve been able to experience so much of the beauty of the PNW and put all my climbing skills to use :) I highly recommend checking out Never Stop Moving !

NSM is an amazing and supportive community! Whether you are training, learning or gathering for an outdoor adventure the vibe is always upbeat, approachable and positive. I’ve really enjoyed the atmosphere and the opportunity to share with so many other women that love to climb.
— Katy
A great opportunity for women to get outdoors and climb in a community setting! Very organized and fun training and the outdoor trips are educational and supportive! Megan does a wonderful job of keeping everyone included as well as gives you that extra supportive push you need :) Love this group and the friendships I have made through it ♥

Never Stop Moving (NSM) is a welcoming group and has been awesome for encouraging and motivating me to become a better climber. The training can be grueling but the results pay off week [after] week. The highlight of it all is climbing outdoors and pushing yourself even further to greater heights!
— Sandy
I’m so happy I found Never Stop Moving! Not only have I become a better climber, but I’ve met great people and climbed in places I had never been before. Megan is a fantastic trip leader - her trips are well-organized and I’ve always felt very safe. If you’re looking to learn new climbing skills, get stronger, or meet new people, I would highly recommend checking out the training club and courses.

NSM is my favorite! I found the group just after moving to Seattle last year and have made some great friends and climbing partners through the group :) I randomly signed up to go on a climbing trip to Mazama with the NSM group and didn’t know anyone at the time, but instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. I have since been on other trips and they’ve all been a great experience! Megan is extremely knowledgable about all things climbing and creates a safe and organized way to go on climbing trips with other rad people. I’ve made some great friends through the group and have since hung out and gone climbing with some of the ladies outside of NSM events.

I’ve really enjoyed being a part of Never Stop Moving. In the few short months of being a member, I’ve met a lot of amazing climbers and climbed outside. Everyone is super supportive and there are several opportunities to learn new skills to grow as a climber. I highly recommend this club to anyone who is interested in going beyond the climbing gym!

This summer, NSM has helped me check off milestone climbing goals! Last spring, I set a personal goal of leading my first climb by fall. I knew my climbing skills were strong enough, but I didn’t have the mindset. These girls helped me gain the confidence needed to feel comfortable on the wall. On my first trip with NSM, we drove out to Mazama. The whole trip was a blast. I met a wonderful group of ladies, decided to try scary things, and was introduced to a new type of outdoor climbing.
— Alex
When I moved to Seattle, my goal was to improve my climbing and start climbing outside. I have achieved both with NSM and I feel much more confident climbing with a group of such positive, patient, and supportive women. I’m really happy I found out about NSM and I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn and climb together.
— Erica
NSM has been awesome for me in a lot of ways. First, I don’t think I’d have the opportunity to go on outdoor trips without this group. It’s also so great how supportive everyone is of each other. And I feel like I’ve made some really good friends too. And I’ve gotten way stronger and better at climbing!
