What it is
Rock climbing is inherently a social activity that encourages like-minded people to come together and form a community sharing experiences, stories, success and challenges. Through rock climbing you can expect to:
- improve health and fitness
- become stronger
- increase flexibility and balance
- employ mental strategies of planning, anticipation and focus
Who it is for
For youth and adults with disabilities, ages 5 and up in the Duluth Northland area.
What to expect
Good technique is more important than physical strength when it comes to rock climbing, which makes this a great sport for many. You’ll climb at your own pace and at the level of difficulty that is right for you physically. With climbing you are your own competition - as you master techniques you can increase the difficulty of your climbing route.
Good to know
All equipment and gear will be provided.
