Why Rock Climbing?
Rock climbing helps heal women dealing with cancer because it combines physical exercise with mental empowerment. The physical activity helps build strength, endurance, and flexibility, which are essential for recovery. Mentally, the challenge of climbing fosters resilience and a sense of accomplishment, helping to shift focus away from the illness. Add in a supportive environment and the healing power of nature and you have the best and most fun treatment you will ever experience.

"There is no better therapy or treatment for the soul than sunshine, cool air, high frequency company and a rope. Climbing is good medicine and I'm writing prescriptions for everyone"
