- 10 parents have been introduced to climbing
- The wall is used by 50 kids/week
“Climbing can be a positive sense of escape and a positive activity that they (kids) build some identity around. I’m excited to see and meet some of the kids that will climb for the first time. I’m really excited to see in 5, 10, 15 years who these kids become.” – Blake Mycoskie
