Location: Lower 9th Street Ogden
Safe@Weber Advocacy Program, the Outdoor Program, and OCRE are hosting a trauma-informed climbing workshop. The goal of this event is to create a safe space for survivors and allies alike to have a trauma-informed way to learn the necessary skills to rock climb outside on a top rope. Top roping is the safest way to begin climbing and is a necessary first step for any new climber. This free workshop will teach participants how to climb, while also empowering them to trust their bodies, their voices, and other participants.
