Training will be held April 27th.

There are two different rock climbing program days. Colorado Center for the Blind will have climbing sessions 5/7, 5/14, 5/31, 6/7, 6/14, 7/12, and every Friday in September.

A second group of participants with a range of disabilities will have climbing sessions every Saturday in May and September.

I volunteered with NSCD for a few years in the climbing and sit-skiing programs. I'd recommend it to anyone interested.

Can you elaborate a little more on what's involved here? Thanks.
