How can we create a climbing gym that’s accessible to everyone? In this workshop, we’ll take a look at the different barriers that make it difficult for people to access the sport climbing - from structural conditions to communication and organizational processes. Through a hands-on discussion, we’ll develop initial ideas on how to break down these barriers and show that inclusion doesn’t always require major renovations or large investments - even small changes can make a big difference.
