We are so, SO impressed with our weekly Up ENDing Parkinson’s meet up group 🙌

Today was our 13th and final session for the spring and we’ll resume in the fall, with an outdoor climbing day this summer. These climbers and volunteer belayers have been incredibly dedicated and encouraging, building strong connections with each other, and benefitting from the strength, balance, and complex problem-solving that climbing provides. We are missing a few faces in the group photo- kudos to all who joined for this session- you are truly ROCK stars!

The world is lucky to have Mo Beck - Unprofessional Climber and Vasu Sojitra leading the charge on Universal Gear for outdoor adventures -- design choices that make gear easier to use not only for people with disabilities, but for everybody. What the article doesn't boast, so we will for them -- both Mo and Vasu attended University of Vermont, climbed and skied around Vermont and the Northeast, and spent time at Petra 🥰 We 🫶 you Mo and Vasu!

On the heels of a new collection of universal outdoor gear, one-handed pro climber Maureen Beck explains the need for universal design in climbing gear.
