Climb with us!
CRG Adaptive is for climbers with disabilities and volunteers (able-bodied or physically disabled) who would like to learn more and participate in our climbing community!
Whether this is your first time climbing or you’ve been participating for your entire life, this is a great opportunity to have fun and connect with fellow adaptive climbers. Volunteers provide pointers and encouragement along with belay support. We encourage independence, but if you need one-on-one help, that’s okay – we just ask that you bring someone to help assist our staff!
