Chelsea Rude is a professional climber with Adidas + Five Ten. She is the founder of She Sends Collective, an organization aimed at holistically empowering women (cis + non-cis), GNC and nonbinary humans through the vehicle of rock climbing with further education centered in nutrition, self-love, and developing a more kind and trusting relationship with oneself. This is done both through 1:1 coaching with Chelsea as well as group clinics and workshops.
Chelsea is based out of Boulder, Colorado and has been climbing for 22 years. While the majority of her career was spent training in gyms for competitions, she now spends a lot of her time focusing on bringing women together and teaching them the skills they need to feel empowered and safe within climbing.
Today, Chelsea really has been enjoying sport climbing and bouldering, although she wants to become more proficient in trad, ice, and alpine climbing. When she's not out teaching or climbing, she enjoys welcoming each day by watching the sunrise, covering large distances on foot with her dogs, jumping in alpine lakes, baking, reading and learning how to be a better ally for humanity. Oh, watching Grey's Anatomy, too.
