Challenge for Access 2026 - DC

We are excited to introduce a revamped Challenge for Access!

This year, Challenge for Access will be a one-day Climbing Challenge in Atlanta on Saturday, April 11, bringing together climbers from across the community to fuel access to adventure for people with physical disabilities.

Participants will challenge themselves to climb 5, 10, 20, or 50 routes within a 3-hour window, while raising funds that help Catalyst Sports provide inclusive, adaptive climbing opportunities year-round.

The Challenge is open to both adaptive and non-adaptive athletes. Whether you climb with adaptive equipment or without, whether you’re an experienced climber or brand new to the wall — you’re invited to be part of the Challenge.

You can form your own team, join an existing team, or participate as an individual climber.

How it works:

• Register for the Challenge ($25 registration fee)

• Form a team or climb individually

• Create your personal fundraising page

• Commit to climbing 5, 10, 20, or 50 routes in 3 hours

• Invite friends and family to support your climb

• Show up and climb for access!

We are incredibly grateful to Central Rock Gym Atlanta for hosting this event and helping champion inclusive climbing in our community.

Every registration, donation, and share directly supports athletes gaining access to adaptive climbing opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Join us and help make adventure accessible to all.
