Adaptive Climbing

As a space that fosters community & belonging, our goal is to provide accessible climbing for people of all abilities. While anyone is welcome to come to the facility at any time (including your service dog), we'd be happy to schedule you with a staff member to make sure you get the most out of your visit to ASCEND. We also host adaptive community events!

We are busy revamping our Adaptive Climbing Program so it meets the needs of our climbers and volunteers. Hang tight!
