BETA Program: Be Empowered To Ascend<\/h1>\n

Crux’s next Adaptive Climbing day is <\/strong>Saturday August 29th at Crux Pflugerville!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Crux’s Adaptive Program is offered to all ages with varying adaptive abilities and will be hosted quarterly to bring climbing to all. Join us on our next climbing session for an adaptive climbing day with trained staff and volunteers.<\/p>\n

Now that our South Austin location is back up and running, we will start to alternate hosting the BETA Program between our South and Pflugerville gyms.<\/span><\/p>\n

From working different systems to climbing alongside someone, our volunteers will help make this day the best for all of our participants!<\/p>\n

Mark Greene will spend Friday evening training our new volunteers on the ins and outs of adaptive climbing. You will learn different techniques, equipment, skills, and etiquette. On Saturday, you will get the chance to help our adaptive climbers climb! If you have volunteered with us before, you do not need to attend the training again.<\/p>\n

We ask that all volunteers be top rope belay certified through Crux. <\/u>This is a prerequisite skill that will not be taught during the volunteer training. Register for a belay class here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
