Grit: The ParaCliffHangers’ Story

Rock climbing is a sport that typically demands concentration and physical coordination. This documentary follows ParaCliffHangers, an organization making the sport more accessible and empowering people with disabilities on and off the wall.

More than one in four adults in the United States has some type of disability. This includes people with mobility, cognition, independent living, hearing, visual and self-care difficulties. ParaCliffHangers is a disability-led adaptive climbing organization that brings together people with and without disabilities to challenge themselves through rock climbing. They share how rock climbing is not just about athleticism, but more about overcoming one’s mountains.
