Summary

The first ever adaptive climber festival in Horse Pens 40. There will be clinics and an informal competition.

Description

This first ever adaptive climber festival is open to any disibilites and will focus on building the community of adaptive climbers. We will have clinics taught by the leading adaptive climbers in the US as well as a small, informal competition for fun.

The event will aim to build the community and teach some of the basics of climber movement in an outside venue. The benefits of climbing have been proven to help a wide range of disabilities such as PTSD, amputees, and TBI's. We welcome any and all disabilities and look forward to working with you!

Benefits of rock climbing include physical and mental aspects such as practice of fine motor skills, coordination of movements, balance, and core control as well as problem solving and mental focus. We will focus on every participant as an individual and encourage each climber to push their unique and personal comfort zones.

Climbers are encouraged to wear comfortable and flexible clothing. Equipment is provided, including harnesses and shoes.
