Why Mademoiselle Fissure?

Mademoiselle Fissure exists to ignite a movement of women stepping into trad climbing. I believe that crack climbing isn’t just a style, but a powerful way to connect with rock, nature, and yourself.

My mission is to break down barriers, share knowledge, and build confidence for women who want to learn, progress, and thrive in outdoor climbing especially trad. Through inspiring stories, practical tips, and a supportive community, I aim to turn curiosity into courage and first tries into lifelong passion.

By highlighting women who are crushing cracks—whether rookies or seasoned trad climbers—the goal is to celebrate the grit, determination, and sisterhood that trad climbing fosters. Mademoiselle Fissure is here to guide, encourage, and amplify the voices of women pushing into this incredible, empowering style of climbing.

Together, we’re making crack climbing more accessible, welcoming, and fun—one woman at a time.
