Happy anniversary, everyone! 36 years today.
At PCH, we’re proud to be a climbing community run by and for disabled people. 🧗Our Executive Director and co-founders are disabled, over half of our chapter leads are disabled, and so is a majority of our board. We love our allies too, and know how special it is for many of you to either climb with us or bring along partners, friends, and family 💜
The world is not an accessible place. We won’t pretend that it is. But at our meetups, there’s nothing about us without us.
Go to paracliffhangers.org for more info on how you can support our work and join us.
Happy !
