During a climbing session, Gabi reaches for a boulder while hanging 30 feet above the ground. Gabi’s physical therapist informed the family about the center’s climbing program for children. “At first she said she didn’t know because she was afraid of heights,” Betsy said. “But she went to the very top the very first time. She did it, and then she liked it.” Now in her second year with the program, Gabi attends climbing sessions every Wednesday.
