The Paradox Sports Adaptive Climbing Initiative seeks to make climbing accessible to all.
With the support of Move United, Paradox Sports will be hosting an adaptive climbing program for Veterans, climbers with disabilities, and support staff - at no cost to disabled veterans, disabled members of the armed services, VA staff and adaptive sport providers (who serve disabled Veterans at no cost to the Veterans). This program is designed to further develop technical skills and build self-sufficient rock climbers.
About the Initiative
Paradox Sports has put together a comprehensive training program to welcome people with physical disabilities into the climbing community. Adaptive climbing courses include 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.
Disclaimer: This program was funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The opinions, findings and conclusions stated herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
