Defying Gravity: An Adaptive Climbing Event
Radnor, PA

Defying Gravity

An Adaptive Rock Climbing Event hosted by the Gravity Vault Radnor.

Defy Gravity with us! This adaptive rock climbing fundraiser brings people together to celebrate movement, courage, and the power of making recreation accessible. Every contribution helps support organizations working to improve lives through adapted sports, wellness, and community.

 

We welcome climbers with adaptive needs of all kinds — limb differences, low vision or blindness, neurological conditions, and Parkinson's.

Adaptive gear, patient instruction, and a crew that meets you where you are. Caregivers and family members are welcome and encouraged to come & support the climbers!

 

 Can't make the event but still want to contribute? Consider donating!
