We’ve got two holiday events coming up, and we’d love to see you there:

Join us at the Rayback Collective in Boulder for a community hang and raffle! Wear something festive and you’ll get a bonus raffle ticket.

🎄 Wednesday, December 17
Want to climb in your festive wear? Join us at Movement Englewood for climbing followed by a happy hour.

You may have seen Paradox athlete Lindsay Purcell in our video with The North Face—and later shared by Jimmy Chin. Her story reflects what makes our community so powerful: strength, adaptability, and belonging.

Lindsay is one of hundreds of climbers impacted by Paradox each year—from first-timers at Movement, to ice climbers in Ouray, to Veterans climbing the Tetons together.

To keep these programs thriving, we’re raising $20,000 this season.
Your support today makes a real difference.

Donate today and help defy convention.

Join us on January 23 - 25 in North Conway this year for some amazing ice climbing!

We hope you’ll join Paradox Sports as we host our annual NE Ice trip in what many consider the capital of northeastern ice climbing.

Our Lake City Ice Climbing trips are open! This year, we have a weekday and weekend program to best fit everyone's needs. Lake City is a quaint and historic mining town, just 5 hours from Denver, in the stunning San Juan Mountains south of Gunnison CO. It is home to the under-the-radar-for-now Lake City Ice Park. The park is made up of three main climbing areas (Water Tower Wall, The Beer Garden, & Dynamite Shack), with dozens of routes graded from easy / moderate, to very difficult. It is also EXTREMELY accessible and user-friendly!

Every climb we share at Paradox Sports is powered by one thing: community support.
From local meet-ups where new climbers discover their first footholds, to ambitious plans to expand into new markets, to our competitive climbing team representing on the world stage, funding makes it all possible.

These programs don’t just create opportunities to climb. They create representation, visibility, and belonging for people with disabilities in spaces where they have historically been left out: whether that’s at the gym, at the crag, or at the top of a podium.

Your support ensures that every climber has a place in our community and a chance to rise, defy, and adapt. Consider donating at at https://www.paradoxsports.org/donate/ or with the link in our bio.
