We thank our community for helping identify this new opportunity as a priority, and we couldn’t be more excited to open up our first round of applications! Paradox Sports is looking to create a team composed of a diverse group of individuals, varying in gender, experience levels, and disabilities…and more importantly, a group of individuals who are stoked to be a positive force in the adaptive climbing space!

Our newest blog is up, written by Shane Farver. S Our newest blog is up, written by Shane Farver. Shane writes, "The thing about the adaptive climbing community is that we tend to come from all over the world. On the one hand, that’s comforting: I can go to so many places, and I can find a friend. On the other hand, that’s daunting: connecting with my community usually means a fair amount of travel, and all of the costs and logistics associated with it."

We can't wait to get in more ice climbing at Lake City, Rumney, and Ouray! While Lake City and Ouray are full, Rumney still has a few spaces open, so check out the link in our bio or https://paradoxsports.salsalabs.org/rumney2023 to learn more or register. See you on the ice! Photo ID: 1) A sweeping group shot of the ice climbing at Chalk Creek. There are two climbers on the ice and multiple climbers watching below or belaying. On either side of the ice are large brown rock formations. 2) A climber smiles next to the ice. She is wearing highly reflective sunglasses, a white helmet, and a black jacket. 3) Sam is talking to Derek at the bottom of the ice climb. They are both attached to the ropes. 4) A classic climbing butt-shot! Two climbers are almost to the top of the ice wall. They are both in motion. The sky is blue with a few clouds. 5) A climber smiles upwards as they are next to another climber. Both people have their ice axes in the ice and in the background below them is the rest of the group. 5) A climber smiles upwards as they are next to another climber.
