Mission Statement

ParaCliffHangers fosters adventure, equity, inclusion, opportunity and strength through adaptive rock climbinger. We foster opportunities for people with disabilities to overcome mountains.

Description

  1. We have three foundational programs that support this mission.

    1. The Outdoor Climbing Program introduces paraclimbers to new climbing types and

      areas, builds mentor relationships, and educates each climber on the necessary skills to be

      independent in the outdoors.

    2. The Indoor Gym Program is centered around recurring weekly meetups at local climbing

      gyms providing disability-related support, financial accessibility, and an inclusive and

      equal climbing community to inspire a love of climbing.

    3. The Competitive Climbing Program gives paraclimbers the opportunity to push their

      athletic ability and showcase their accomplishments to a national and global audience.

ParaCliffHangers has an important mission to build access for adaptive climbers. But... the real spirit of the organization is in creating a community. For that reason, working with them just feels like hanging out. The whole story is one of friends climbing together, in the gym, outside, at competitions.

The ParaCliffHangers vision is one of a world where where disability is not a barrier to climbing and everyone I've been fortunate enough to come into contact with in this organization truly lives the mission to foster adventure, equity, inclusion, opportunity and strength through adaptive rock climbing. The gym sessions are fun, inclusive, and a great workout for all community members in addition to offering an accessible and low cost opportunity to try the sport out for first timers. Come join us in the gym! The outdoor trips to iconic world-class rock climbing destinations like Joshua Tree, Yosemite, and The Gunks afford participants an opportunity to get out on real rock in a way that supports each climber's individual journey toward independence and inclusion in the larger outdoor climbing community.
