Held in the Red River Gorge, the Adaptive Climbers Festival is a rock climbing event for climbers with disabilities, forged on the premise that everyone, disability or not, can become a climber. Three climbers share their perspectives across the festival as they foster community, climb hard and embrace their fundamental right to risk.
