Elevating survivors. Confronting the silence.

You should never have to face this alone.

Big news
Never Solo has been selected as an Arc’teryx Community Impact Partner.
It’s the most important milestone in our history, and a sign of something bigger. When one of the most respected names in the mountains stands behind survivors, it tells every climber, gym, and guide that this work is part of keeping people safe outside.
The Never Solo Support Hotline
Healing often begins with a single conversation.
Whether what happened was recent or years ago, trained crisis specialists are here any time, day or night, with emotional support, information about your options, and help finding local resources. You stay in control of the conversation, your choices, and your next steps.
Who it’s for
✓ Survivors of sexual abuse, assault, or harassment
✓ Anyone harmed in gyms, at the crag, in competitions, or while guiding
✓ Friends, partners, family, and teammates supporting a survivor
✓ Witnesses unsure how to respond to something they saw or heard
✓ Anyone who isn’t sure where to turn
What we do
Changing the culture of climbing.
Our mission is a climbing community where every survivor is believed, supported, and empowered, and where prevention, education, and accountability are part of the culture.
01
Support
Free, confidential, 24/7 chat support for survivors and the people around them.
02
Prevention
Training for gyms, coaches, and guides to recognize warning signs and intervene early.
03
Education
Free posters, cards, and toolkits on every gym wall, in every gear bag, at every crag.
04
Accountability
Policies and response plans that make sure harm is taken seriously, everywhere we climb.
Climbing is built on trust. So is believing survivors.
The Resource Library
Put support within reach of every climber.
Free, print-ready materials for every place climbers gather. A poster on a gym wall, a card in a gear bag, a sticker on a crash pad: each one tells someone you will be believed, and you don’t have to face this alone.
Gyms
Front desks, locker rooms, youth teams, and competitions.
Non-Profits
Advocacy, access, affinity groups, and event organizers.
Guides
Guide services, climbing schools, and instructors.
Climbers
Partners, friends, teammates, and allies.
Events
Find us where climbers gather.
Festivals, climbathons, trainings, and community nights. Come say hi, grab a sticker, and help us build safer climbing communities.
For gyms

A full-day endurance event. Climbers log every send in Kaya, the highest volume wins a prize package, and 100% of funds raised support survivors. Your only cost is a $350 promo kit.
