Our Mission

" The Adaptive Climbing Group fosters an inclusive community for individuals with disabilities to engage in the sport of climbing by leveraging their existing abilities. The idea of this group was inspired by Kareemah Batts' personal experience after climbing at the USA Climbing event an amputation. The first "NYC Adaptive Climbing Clinic" was held in Brooklyn, NY on March 15, 2012, where 38 disabled individuals were introduced to climbing over a period of two days. This event was considered the largest climbing experience of its kind at that time."
