Adaptive Climbing at The Ascent
May 16, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 1:30 pm
Our friends over at The Ascent will be hosting an adaptive climbing session for climbers with disabilities. They will be adapting by using:
The ARC Harness by Misty Mountain allows a climber without the use of lower body to ascend ropes using an assisted pulley system.
Climbers with strength and motor skill disabilities can utilize a ‘side climber’ to aid hand/foot placement and a low resistance belay to aid the climber in carrying their weight.
You can also help out with the event by volunteering. To volunteer, you’ll have to be there at 8am for the training seminar.
Make sure to RSVP if you’re climbing/volunteering on The Ascent’s website and also if you have any additional questions.
