So, maybe you're looking in the wrong places? You're far more likely to find me on a mountain, with a backpack or with crampons on than on a sunny rock route in the Peak or at Portland.
They're just too hardcore for you, mate
But you're right, I don't often climb with a group of just women, and that's simply a result of the small number of women I know who climb regularly.
