Rock climbing can easily be adapted for people with pysical challenges. If you have a prosthesis use a climbing shoe it can be put over an existing prosthetic foot. Getting to the rock can be difficult because of uneven terrain. Sometimes it is bes not to wear a prosthesis, just a rubber sleeve on the limb. To get the feel of what it’s like to climb and how the muscles work and the leg performs try an indoor climbing wall, there you learn to put on a harness. Some people use a leg designed for Telemark skiing. It has become one of the fastest growing sporting activities. A person can climb to his comfort level thanks to indoor climbing walls and a variety of programs that accommodate all ages and all abilities, including wheelchair users and arm amputees. It is not only a physical activity but cerebral too. It takes patience and planning, and forces the climber to make decisions as one gets to a spot and strategizes where to go from there. Adaptive climbers don’t have the same strength, so some may rely more on their fingers for support.Communication with your belayer is extremely important. Not understanding the terminology can lead to accidents. Top roping means that at the top of the wall or rock there is an anchor where the rope is already looped over it and both ends of the rope hand down. The belayer attaches one end of the rope to their belay device, and the climber ties onto the other end.
