Paradox Sports' Mission:

Transform lives and communities through adaptive climbing opportunities that defy convention.

About Paradox Sports

Paradox Sports offers accessible climbing opportunities for people with differing abilities, defying the perception that people with a ‘disability’ cannot lead a life of adventure. We provide outdoor rock and ice climbing trips, training and local programs. We are passionate about engaging and welcoming everyone who is interested in participating, and at our core, we believe in building community.

Our founders were climbers and believed in its transformational power. They also understood that we all ‘adapt’ in climbing due to the equipment required. It provides an opportunity to be present in  both mind and body, and often individuals discover that the only “disability” holding you back is people's perception of what’s possible.

Delivering transformative rock climbing trips for Veterans and individuals with physical disabilities.
