Finding Equipment for Adaptive Rock Climbing

Video Transcript

"Now that you know how to get a Hoyer sling, the rest of your equipment is, should be easier to pick up. Your other equipment is your lock and carabiners. Your two ropes, your harnesses and the daisy chains. The carabiners and the daisy chains you should be able to pick up at any local outdoor store such as REI or maybe even Sports Authority or something like that. They range in different prices so just sometimes rock climbing can be an expensive sport, but the equipment usually lasts for a good amount of time and so it's a good investment if you do this a lot. Also, if you don't want to buy all this equipment for yourself, check your local climbing gyms. This gym here, we always come to The Front Climbing Gym, in Salt Lake, Utah. They are a great gym. They are are big supports of Splore and have been great to work with. And all of their top rope areas have their own ropes set up in place and we just brought one of our own extra ropes to use as the pulley rope. But check with your local climbing gym or maybe even your local YMCA sometimes have indoor rock climbing walls. And check with them first to see if the have the carabiners, daisy chains, waist and chest harnesses, as well as ropes and the Grigri belaying system or there are other different belaying systems. Check with your local gym and ask them to train you on how to appropriately belay."
