Intro to Adaptive Climbing
The Intro to Adaptive Class is exactly how it sounds; an introduction to all things “adaptive program”. The goal of this class is two-fold: provide a learn-first, teach-second environment and give athletes an opportunity to experience climbing through the lens of their personal priorities. Intro to Adaptive Climbing includes an Adaptive System Orientation, Basic Movement Instruction, Top-Rope Lesson, Bouldering Orientation, and Autobelay Orientation.
This class is not a ‘one size fits all’ and will be formatted around the participants’ needs. If a person is not able to climb independently of adaptive systems, we will spend more time working with the systems versus teaching bouldering skills.
