Chicagoland intro to Climbing is a partnership between Adaptive Adventures and the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab. We provide opportunities for persons with physical disabilities and their loved ones to enjoy the sport and lifestyle of climbing. We provide instruction, adaptive gear, plenty of encouragement and a cool community of people to help reach new heights.

We will be hosting regular climbing opportunities at First Ascent every 2nd and 4th Monday.

Adaptive Climbing:

Climbing fosters an amazing sense of community, trust, courage, and accomplishment. It can be easily adapted to almost any ability level. Through climbing, you can break through barriers and summit to new heights. Whether you have an amputation, spinal cord injury, visual impairment or limited mobility due to CP, SB, MS, MD or other physical conditions, we have climbing opportunities for you! Adaptive Adventures is currently offering programs for children (ages 8+), youth, adults, and veterans.

Costs:

Participant: $9.00 (Paid at the door) Price includes essential climbing equipment, instruction, and lots of fun!

Volunteers: Registered volunteers assisting with the program are free thanks to the generous support of First Ascent climbing gym.

Thanks to the generous support from our sponsors and donors, the partnership with SRALAB, Synergy, and First Ascent gym, we are able to keep these costs extremely low and provide scholarships for those in need.

Register:

Registration is required to ensure that we have enough volunteer support and the appropriate equipment for you to have a successful evening!
