Choosing The Right Membership
At ParaCliffHangers, we offer two types of memberships to meet the diverse needs of our community. Here’s how to choose the one that’s right for you:
Climber with a Disability Membership
If you identify as a person with a disability, this membership is designed for you. You’ll answer a few disability-related questions as part of the sign-up process. These questions help us:
Better understand and support the population we serve.
Collect demographic data for impact reporting and strategic planning.
Advocate for accessibility and inclusion in climbing and beyond.
Your answers are confidential, securely stored, and used only to enhance our programs and mission.
Non-disabled Community Membership
Choose this option if you’re interested in joining our community but do not have a disability. Whether you’d like to help belay, climb with your paraclimber friends or family, or assist with event logistics, this membership is perfect for those who want to become part of our inclusive community.
We ask everyone in ParaCliffHangers to actively participate in our program, climb, and develop friendships that will provide multiple climbing opportunities for our community.
