Adaptive Ascents is a group designed to support individuals with disabilities in climbing. This group caters towards lower-support needs climbers who want space to climb with others, and encouragement to reach personal goals. During the meetup, volunteers will be available to belay, encourage, and offer support to climbers.
This meetup would be best suited to individual adult and teen climbers who are looking to improve their climbing experience and build community, with less direct assistance from volunteers. This group is for ages 14+.
Participants seeking a more tailored adaptive experience or those requiring more specialized equipment are encouraged to explore opportunities through our partnership with Courage Kenny and Allina Health. If you would like more information or have questions about participation, feel free to reach out to emily@verticalendeavors.com.
