Hawaii Adaptive Climbing Outdoor Day – Hawaii

Come learn the basics of outdoor rock climbing with a group of like-minded Veterans!

We will cover the basics of rope work, belay commands, climber movement, and crag etiquette so that a first-time climber or seasoned veteran, can become confidant in the vertical environment. The benefits of climbing have been proven to help a wide range of disabilities such as PTSD, amputees, and TBI’s. We welcome any and all disabilities and look forward to giving back to our community.

Rock climbing encourages development of fine motor skills, coordination of movements, balance, and core control as well as problem-solving and mental focus. We will focus on every participant as an individual and encourage each climber to push their unique and personal comfort zones. All participants are welcome regardless of age and gender. This program requires attendees to ambulate on steep and uneven terrain. No experience or equipment is needed! Climbers are encouraged to wear comfortable and flexible clothing. Equipment is provided, including harnesses and shoes. Contact Craig DeMartino with any questions at: [email protected]
