About

Climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and, with the addition of climbing to the 2020 Olympic games, that growth is expected to increase dramatically in the years to come. As a result, there is an increasing need to share and expand our expertise in climbing medicine, not only in Canada but across the world.
 

The 2017 & 2019 symposiums offered three days of content, discussion and hands-on activities focused on sport climbing related health, medicine, social sciences and performance.
