After much anticipation, POA’s rock climbing wall is here! Be sure to check it out during your next visit!
Rock climbing is a whole body workout that improves strength, endurance, and stamina. Ronnie Dickson – CP, AK amputee and experienced rock climber -is looking forward to introducing our patients to climbing!
Here’s a few photos from POA’s Ronnie “Spider Man” Dickson during a recent climbing trip to Red River Gorge, a canyon system on the Red River in east-central Kentucky. This canyon system features an abundance of sandstone cliffs, rock shelters, waterfalls and natural bridges, making it one of the world’s most popular and challenging climbing destinations. Ronnie, an above-knee amputee, makes it look easy!
This is a short climbing highlight documentary, where amputee climber Ronnie Dickson traverses the beautiful land in Hueco Tanks, Texas. Click here to view the video .
The “First Climb” rock climbing clinic for amputees sponsored by POA was a huge success! Click on the following link for some photos from this great event. Participants included a few brave members of our POA family. 😉 Click here to see Kansas City Star photos >>
