Paradox Sports has put together a comprehensive training program to welcome people with physical disabilities into the climbing community. As part of the AMGA Annual Meeting, but open to the public, this adaptive climbing course includes a mix of classroom education, open discussions and on-the-wall training and facilitation over a two day period with a focus on physical adaptation for climbing with paralysis, amputation, visual/hearing impairment, and neuromuscular disorders.
Day One:
Facilitators Only
Classroom and On-the-wall Training
9:00AM - 4:30PM
Day Two:
Facilitators + Adaptive Climbing join for the
Adaptive Climbing Community Day

West Valley City, UT 84119
The Adaptive Climbing Initiative is sponsored by The North Face
The course will be hosted at an indoor rock climbing gym. Please bring your climbing harness, lunch, and snacks. Dress code is casual and should be suitable for on-the-wall learning. Paradox Sports provides a handbook with space to take notes.
* If you wish to personally purchase the Adaptive Climbing Manual book, they are available for $20 during check-out (discounted for course participants - regular price $29.95 + shipping via the Paradox website!)
Facilitators: If you are joining the two-day course as a facilitator, all attendees must have (at minimum) basic knowledge of climbing and ability to belay prior to attending the course. This helps maximize the time focused on adaptive climbing skills and equipment to make the course a valuable experience for all. If you have never climbed before, or if you are in need of a refresher, please contact your local climbing gym to take an introductory course prior to signing up for the Adaptive Climbing Initiative Facilitator Course.
Meals: There will be a break from approx 12:30pm - 1:30pm on Day One of the course where you are free to leave the facility for lunch, or you are welcome to bring a packed lunch. Day Two will wrap up around 12:30pm. Please bring any snacks that you might want during the day.
