Comment accepter ce qu'on a toujours voulu cacher de soi ? Solenne Piret est née avec une agénésie de l'avant-bras droit. Pendant son enfance, ni elle ni son entourage n'avait mis le mot de "handicap" sur cette malformation. Pour la première fois à 25 ans, c'est une psychologue qui, lors de leur première séance, nomme ce qu'elle a toujours contourné. D'abord difficile à entendre, le mot devient libérateur : "Je me suis rendue compte que j'avais tout construit autour de cette différence, mais pas avec." Dans cet épisode, Solenne revient sur son parcours qui l'a menée de ses études d'architecture à quatre titres de championne du monde de para-escalade. Elle nous raconte : son enfance avec ses frères et ses parents mordus d'escalade le début de son travail thérapeutique, qu'elle entame initialement pour mieux vivre son hypersensibilité sa redécouverte de l'escalade à 25 ans et son ascension rapide dans le haut niveau, jusqu'à son premier titre de championne du monde sa préparation pour les Jeux de Los Angeles 2028, où la para-escalade fera officiellement son entrée pour la première fois. Bonne écoute ! À propos du podcast :On parle volontiers de “mental” dans le sport de haut niveau : mental de champion, victoire au mental, mental d'acier.

Il sogno di molti paraclimbers italiani e non solo sta per realizzarsi, o meglio si è di fatto già realizzato. Dall'edizione di Los Angeles 2028 infatti, anche per questi atleti e atlete paralimpiche si apriranno le porte ai cinque cerchi, visto che il paraclimbing (la versione paralimpica dell'arrampicata sportiva) entrerà formalmente a far parte delle Paralimpiadi. Ne parliamo oggi a Olympia, esplorando quindi una disciplina, l'arrampicata, che proprio dopo l'ingresso nel consesso olimpico a partire da Tokyo 2021 ha avuto un'ulteriore accelerazione nella sua crescita e popolarità.Ospiti di Dario Ricci sono Daniel Biavaschi, paraclimber e youtuber che sta inseguendo la maglia azzurra e quindi le Paralimpiadi di Los Angeles 2028, e Cristina Cascone, direttrice tecnica della Nazionale Italiana di arrampicata sportiva paralimpica.olympia@radio24.itLa regia della puntata è di Filippo Aureggi.

Questa settimana andiamo a parlare di Paraclimbing e di disabilità. Insieme alla nostra Laura, abbiamo provato a raccontare questa prospettiva diversa e magari ad evidenziare qualche stigma e qualche pregiudizio di cui in un modo o nell'altro siamo tutti colpevoli. Laura è in nazionale di questa disciplina e sta iniziando a pensare alla possibilità di rappresentare il nostro paese alle prossime olimpiadi, che saranno le prime per il paraclimbing. ............................................................................

In this episode Kyra and Allison dive into the exciting world of paraclimbing and its growth into becoming a Paralympic sport. Special guest Mo Beck, a 2X World Champion Paraclimber and 10 time AU2 Paraclimbing National Champion, shares her experiences and insights on the growth of adaptive climbing, the challenges and triumphs of competing at the highest level, and her professional climbing career. Mo discusses her journey, the incredible athletes in the sport, and how the paraclimbing community continues to grow.

Sebastian is a German paraclimber. He is also the chair of the paraclimbing commission, and he worked on filing the application to get climbing into the Paralympics for LA 2028, which only recently got approved! In this episode, we'll learn about his journey accepting that his disease would affect his body and climbing forever, what the process was like for getting climbing into the Paralympics, the drama behind the paraclimbing classification process, and we talk about his harrowing 1000km journey to the Innsbruck world cup on just a solar hand bike.Join Patreon for a welcome gift, deleted scenes, and question priority: www.patreon.com/thatsnotrealclimbingpodcastGuest links:InstagramYoutubeReference links:IFSC Classification InformationFAQ Video on the bikeShort teaser about the handbikeLearn more about the podcast at www.thatsnotrealclimbingpodcast.comFollow on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thatsnotrealclimbingpodcastJoin the FREE community in Discord! https://discord.gg/QTa668g8zpJoin Patreon for a welcome gift, deleted scenes, and question priority: www.patreon.com/thatsnotrealclimbingpodcastOr, for a one time donation, buy me a "chalk bag": www.buymeacoffee.com/compclimbingTimestamps of discussion topics0:00 - Getting into climbing/paraclimbing9:43 - Learning to live with ankylosing spondylitis23:58 - Applying for paraclimbing to become a Paralympic sport35:25 - Onsighting the Paralympic application and beating out surfing39:53 - What sport classes will be in the Paralympics44:51 - Requirements paraclimbing must fulfill to participate in the Olympics49:55 - Classification drama58:07 - How classification works1:05:15 - The difficult job of classifiers: fluctuating impairments1:09:25 - Funding his climbing1:13:07 - And the solar hand bike was born1:28:50 - Proudest outdoor climbing achievement1:33:00 - Closing thoughts/where to find Sebastian

On Episode 287 of the Enormocast, I connect with Paraclimbing champion, Mo Beck. Mo was born with one hand, and her parents were determined to make sure she was ready for challenges of life like any other kid. When Mo ran into a camp counselor that told her that she didn't HAVE TO climb if … Continue reading "Enormocast 287: Mo Beck – A Certain Version of Fine"

In this episode you'll hear an excerpt from my conversation with Amruta Wyssman, who goes by Amy. She started bouldering in 2018, and by 2021 she was helping to start the Swiss Paraclimbing team. Before climbing, Amy was into all kinds of snow sports. So, we talked about the similarities between different outdoor sports, like climbing, snowboarding, horseback riding…ect. These sports are slowly making their way into the Olympics and Paralympics. So, we get into how being presented on a world stage is changing these sports – Paraclimbing included, even though the community is still waiting on an official announcement about its incorporation into the LA 2028 Para Games (as of the date we recorded this episode). 

Ben Mayforth is a decorated climber well known for dialing in his training regimen. He's a Paraclimbing World Cup multi-medalist. Since 2019, he hasn't missed a silver medal at the Paraclimbing World Championships. Ben has a reputation of being extremely disciplined, but he's recently loosened some of his self-imposed rules, and we discuss the impacts from that “letting go” in this episode.

In this episode, we chat with Allie Redshaw, a culinary artist, adventurer, and advocate for inclusivity. Allie grew up in Southern Virginia, but it was a trip to Paris that sparked her love for culinary. She found herself studying at the Culinary Institute of America before moving to Charlottesville Virginia with her husband. However, life took an unexpected turn on March 1, 2017, when a tragic accident resulted in the amputation of Allie's hand. Despite the devastating loss, her adventurous spirit remained undaunted through the overwhelming support of her community. In fact, it may have grown brighter when she picked up paraclimbing, immersing herself into the lifestyle. Allie didn't stop there though. She's the ultimate ambassador for varying nonprofits that are all about empowering others to experience the outdoors, no matter their ability.  If you've ever wondered how you can find the strength to ascend, even through the deepest adversities, or why it's never too late to find your community, then this one's for you!Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

Trotz seines schweren Schicksalsschlags hat Angelino Zeller nie aufgehört, die Grenzen des Möglichen zu verschieben. Nach einem Paragliding-Unfall, der ihn 2017 querschnittgelähmt zurückließ, fand Angelino im Paraclimbing nicht nur einen Weg zurück in den Sport, sondern auch eine neue Lebensmission. Mit unbeugsamem Willen, unermüdlichem Training und einem unglaublichen Mindset errang er drei Weltmeistertitel und die Auszeichung "Sportler des Jahres" Im großen Exklusiv-Interview erzählte er mir von seiner Reise voller Emotionen, Herausforderungen und Triumphe, die beweist: Es ist nicht das, was uns widerfährt, das zählt, sondern wie wir darauf reagieren. Lassen Sie sich von Angelino Zellers unerschütterlicher Entschlossenheit und Lebensfreude inspirieren.

Carlie is the FIRST female chief setter at an IFSC world championship, where she led a team of 5 to set the world paraclimbing championships in Bern 2023! She has been climbing for over 20 years and setting for almost just as long, so she has a lot of experience. In this episode, we'll learn about all the things you have to keep in mind when setting world championship routes for paraclimbers, what it's like in the routesetting scene as a female setter, and what it's like owning a climbing gym.Guest links:Carlie's InstagramReference links:Bern 2023 RP1 routeIFSC Para Routesetting GuidelinesLearn more about the podcast at www.thatsnotrealclimbingpodcast.comFollow on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thatsnotrealclimbingpodcastJoin the FREE community in Discord! https://discord.gg/QTa668g8zpIf you're able to help support the podcast, you can "buy me a chalk refill" :) current proceeds are going toward a webcam! www.buymeacoffee.com/compclimbingTimestamps of discussion topics0:00 - Introduction1:18 - Tummy trubble4:10 - Starting climbing through school9:04 - How she became a paraclimbing setter11:09 - IFSC rules for paraclimbing setting14:46 - How to handle asymmetrical disabilities?16:32 - How to merge different paraclimbing classifications onto the same route20:26 - How para routes are forerun22:22 - Setting a route that did not work out as expected25:25 - How setters can get into paraclimbing setting26:42 - Breaking into routesetting as a woman 20 years ago31:48 - Differences setting for mens vs women climbing36:08 - Carlie's setting style37:37 - How motherhood impacted climbing + setting43:23 - Being a gym owner49:09 - My dream gym50:34 - Discord Q: Did you feel unconscious bias against you as a female setter?52:54 - Discord Q: Do setters get "writer's block"?54:41 - Discord Q: How often do you think gym routes/boulders should be reset?56:43 - Discord Q: Do you have any involvement in World Cup isolation setting?59:00 - Discord Q: Pros and cons of setting different qualifiers and finals in 1 day1:02:25 - Where to find Carlie

Anita Aggarwal and Christiane Luttikhuizen are paraclimbers who have competed in world cups as part of the RP3 sports class. RP3 is a classification for limited reach, power or stability.

Matthew Phillips joins us this week! He's only young but he's already had a sparkling career in the sport. A world champion, but also an incredibly humble and laid back guy who's now getting more involved with the routesetting and coaching side of the sport. His pragmatism and fearlessness in the face of challenges is infectious and we really enjoyed having an opportunity to chat to him! If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to support us: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Life doesn't follow a clean and cut narrative arc — unlike the stories we tell. Sure, it might all start and end the same way for folks, but it's the complex, messy middle that makes us, us. One of our tendencies with storytelling is to simplify, which means skimming over a lot of the details. But when we do that we might find the narrative doesn't actually work, it's not really who we are.Luckily, we can rewrite it. Narrative is a choice.In today's episode, we talk with Shane Farver, an adaptive climber, writer, former journalism instructor, and now Director of Marketing & Communications based in Utah. After a climbing gym accident in 2018, Shane found the story he was telling himself — and others — needed a revision. Since then, he has embraced the problem-solving aspect of climbing and pursued the sport he loves while continually adapting his body through techniques and accessories.We talk about what makes ice climbing particularly accessible for adaptive athletes, how to ask “how”, and what it means to belong in the outdoors on your own terms. Resources and links:If you'd like to connect with Shane, his Instagram handle is @sfarver01. He does a lot of work with the Adaptive Climbing program at The Front if you happen to find yourself in Salt Lake City, and he's also just down the street from the new location of The Scratch Pad. This winter, he'll be at a few upcoming ice fests.Paradox Sports is the leader in the adaptive climbing space and definitely worth checking out.For more stories with adaptive ice climbers, here is a podcast interview with Kimber Cross and here is a recent video featuring Mo Beck.If you'd like to go out with an adaptive ice climbing guide, consider Santi Vega, a full-time mountain guide in the Wasatch and Uinta mountains of Utah.Find the rest of the notes, timestamps, resources, and more on the episode page.  Credits:Episode cover photo by Maureen Beck.Intro music by Hannah Noelle Enomoto (thanks, sis!). Sponsors:Big thanks to our sponsor, Blue Ice, for supporting this show!Blue Ice: Blue Ice is the best kind of ice, and also my choice when it comes to fast and light ice climbing gear.

Klettern, mit Menschen, die ähnliche körperliche Voraussetzungen haben - das erlebt Corinna Wimmer in Boulderhallen selten. Sie hat einen verkürzten Unterarm und “muss” sehr kreativ werden, um Boulder zu lösen. Oft sieht sie das als eine spannende Herausforderung an. Manchmal ist es aber auch einfach toll, mit anderen Menschen mit Behinderung zu klettern, an Routen, die für sie geschraubt sind. Genau das erlebt sie als Teil des Paraclimbing Nationalteams. Cori startet bei Paraclimbing Wettkämpfen. Bei der diesjährigen Kletter-WM in Bern wurde sie sechste in ihrer Kategorie (in der “AU2” = Unterarm-Amputation oder Gliedmaßenverlust). Ich habe Corinna kurz nach der Kletter-WM in der Element Boulderhalle in München getroffen. Wir haben uns über Inklusion in der Kletterszene und in der Wettkampf-Szene unterhalten. Aber auch im Allgemeinen darüber, was Menschen mit Behinderung daran hindert, teilzuhaben. Außerdem war Cori bei der WM bei einem Treffen, bei dem Athletinnen und Athleten mit IFSC-Vertretern sprechen konnten. Hier wurde vor allem über RED-S gesprochen. Cori erzählt, was sie dort gehört hat und was ihre persönlichen Gedanken zu RED-S sind.

On this episode of The Hazelcast, we sit down with paraclimber, imagineer, and cat dad Tanner Cislaw and his partner Izzy Dean to discuss what it takes to go from a life changing injury to a world class athlete. Tanner highlights the future of outdoor accessibility and our favorite topic, cheese. Tune in to hear tales from his time at the red square and what future projects are on his tick list.

Anita Aggarwal is a Paraclimber from the UK living with Multiple Sclerosis (meaning Multiple Scars) since 2009. She recently won her first ever competition which led her to being asked to climb for Great Britain.  She now focuses on coaching youngsters on the spectrum or with down syndrome, and other ailments. Anita is focused on bringing paraclimbing to the next level.

Christina Leffmann, or Roma as she prefers to be called, is passionate about indoor and outdoor rock climbing as well as the Acquired Disability Peer Support Group she started. In June Roma traveled to Salt Lake City to participate in Paraclimbing National Championships (you can see Roma climbing at 12:30 in the video). In her early 20s Roma experienced a series of strokes and identifies as having an acquired disability which is different than being born with a disability or aging into a disability. Currently she works for the Center for Independent Living and has an active life with a daily stretch routine, swimming, and weekly cycling. And rock climbing, of course. Earlier this year Roma shared her movement practice at one of the weekly Zoom meetings as part of the May Movement Challenge.

Diagnose: Morbus Bechterew – was bedeutet das? Und wie geht man damit um? Wie kann man trotzdem oder gerade deshalb erfolgreich klettern? Und warum wirken fast alle "Bechtis" so ungemein positiv? Das alles versuchen wir mit Sebastian zu klären!

Sebastian Depke war Paraclimber, ohne zu wissen, dass es Paraclimbing gibt. Bei einem Klettertrip traf er den slowenischen Kletterer Jernej Kruder. Der erzählte Sebastian was Paraclimbing ist und dass es dafür Gruppen, Nationalteams und Wettkämpfe gibt. Jetzt ist Sebastian Teil des deutschen Paraclimbing Nationalkaders. Er möchte es nicht mehr dem Zufall überlassen, dass Menschen mit Behinderung vom Paraclimbing erfahren. Als AthletInnen-Sprecher für Paraclimbing bei der IFSC setzt er sich für die Sichtbarkeit und Weiterentwicklung des Sportes ein. Es geht z.B. darum, Paraclimbing zu den Paralympics zu bringen. Außerdem hat Sebastian eine Webseite gestartet, die umfassende Informationen zu Paraclimbing enthält. Z.B. gab es bisher noch keine Seite, auf der alle Wettkämpfe die es gibt, angekündigt werden. Seine Seite: www.paraclimbing.org Diese Folge ist Teil 2 meines Interviews mit Sebastian Depke. In Teil 1 ging es vor allem um seine persönliche Geschichte. Hier in der Fortsetzung erfährst du mehr zu Sebastians Arbeit im Parasport. Außerdem beantwortet er die Fragen der BIN WEG BOULDERN Hörerinnen und Hörer. +++ Magst du mich bei meiner Podcast-Arbeit unterstützen? +++ Damit ich meine Arbeit machen kann gibt es auf der Plattform Steady ein Crowdfunding: https://steadyhq.com/de/binwegbouldern Oder hol dir ein BIN WEG BOULDERN Shirt / Hoodies uvm.: https://binwegbouldern.de/bwb_shop#!/ +++ Shownotes +++ Paraclimbing.org - die Webseite über Paraclimbing Events, Training für ParaclimberInnen und mehr https://paraclimbing.org/ Die Livestreams der bisherigen Paraclimbing Events zum Nachschauen https://paraclimbing.org/blog/category/competitions/ Paraclimber Nicolas Perreth und Marc von “Einfach Klettern” beim gemeinsamen Bouldern.

Sebastian Depke ist Paraclimber und kämpft dafür, dass das Paraclimbing sichtbarer wird. Ihm hat der Sport sehr geholfen mit seiner Krankheit (Morbus Bechterew) zu leben. Sebastian klettert im deutschen Paraclimbing Nationalkader und er ist Paraclimbing AthletInnen-Sprecher bei der IFSC (der internationale Dachverband fürs Sportklettern). Hier ist er ganz nah dran an den Entwicklungen des Sportes. Außerdem hat er eine Webseite gestartet, auf der erstmals eine Übersicht aller Paraclimbing-Events und weitere Informationen gesammelt werden sollen. Das kann helfen, damit Menschen mit Behinderung einen Zugang zum Paraclimbing und zur Szene finden. Dies ist Teil 1 des Podcast-Gespräches, in dem Sebastian von seiner persönlichen Geschichte mit Morbus Bechterew redet und erklärt, welche Bedeutung das Klettern für ihn hat. Außerdem hat er mir erzählt, wie der slowenische Kletterer Jernej Kruder ihn überhaupt erst dazu gebracht hat, mit dem Wettkampfklettern anzufangen.

Koichiro Kobayashi, known as “Koba,” is a “paraclimbing legend.” Koba went blind at age 28 from a degenerative eye disease and at age 31 decided to take up climbing. He has since racked up a number of gold medals around the world! Koba envisions a world where various groups of people can live together without being worried about their handicaps. To pursue his vision, he established a Tokyo-based non-profit organization called Monkey Magic that promotes free climbing among those with visual impairments. Koba believes climbing “is a lifetime sport that people with disabilities can enjoy throughout their lives which increases exercise opportunities, promotes self-reliance and social participation by empowering, and improves quality of life.” Koba is joined today by his guide, Naoya Suzuki. Erik and Skyler speak to Koba and Naoya about their journey into paraclimbing and how they work together in this adaptive sport. They speak about all the different techniques they use together on a technical level to communicate and get Koba up the rock face. One example is that Naoya uses the “clock method,” and explains which hold to grab by saying 1 o’clock or half past 2 etc. They have traveled the world together and discuss the challenges of entering the World Championships and what being on that level of competition means to them. Koba also reflects on how he heard of Erik back when he was beginning to go blind and the inspiration that meeting provided. In Japan, the blind people he had met stayed away from sports and being active. But, Naoya bought Koba Erik’s first book about his ascent of Everest and he was blown away. So, he reached out. Naoya and Koba came to the U.S. and met Erik together and they have all been close ever since. Trust is an integral part of their relationship. Naoya reflects on times Koba has lost competitions, essentially on bad calls he has made, and how Koba never blames him. They make mistakes together but: “I trust him. No matter how much he makes mistakes, I feel big passion from him, so I trust him.” After Koba climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with Erik and other blind people in 2005, he was inspired to start a climbing gym in his home country of Japan for folks with disabilities. The climbing is an essential service he offers but Koba recognizes that the social aspect is almost even more impactful. Going blind can lead people to isolate and stop going out but Koba realizes how important it is to meet new people and be connected with others. Koba talks about how climbing has become like a friend in his life and his pursuit of the sport has led him to find satisfaction. He does not need his sight to feel fulfillment in his life and to have the love of his community around him. From his climbing community to his wife to Naoya, Koba has met so many supporters in his life since going blind that he has discovered that: “blindness made him big.” As Erik puts it, “sometimes even hardships end up giving us gifts we might never have gotten otherwise.” In Koba’s case, going blind led him to tdiscovering the climbing community building and building deeper relationships with the people in his life.
