This Valentine’s Day, love is in the air – and so are we!

On February 14th, a team of passionate climbers will attempt an extraordinary challenge: to climb the height of Ben Nevis (1345 meters) blindfolded. We’re doing this to raise awareness and funds for paraclimbing through the incredible charity GRIT collective, in partnership with the UK Paraclimbing Collective.

Where is the event taking Place

Redpoint Climbing, 40 Winterstoke Rd, Bristol BS3 2NW

From 3pm until 10pm

Why We’re Taking on This Challenge

Paraclimbing has been a life-changing experience for so many of us. It’s not just a sport; it’s a community that empowers individuals with disabilities to push boundaries, build confidence, and reach their full potential. However, competitive climbing often comes with financial barriers that prevent many aspiring para-athletes from participating. That’s where you come in.

Our goal is to raise enough funds to facilitate access to competitive climbing for para-athletes who might not otherwise afford it. The first step? Sending a team to the Dutch Open Paraclimbing Championships, an exciting opportunity for climbers to compete internationally and represent their skills and determination.

How You Can Get Involved?

You can donate through this page and share our campaign with your friends, family, and fellow climbing enthusiasts. Whether you’re a climber or just someone passionate about creating a more inclusive world, your support means the world to us.

On the day of the event, members of the public are invited to join in the fun! For an optional donation, you can participate in one of the climbs and experience the thrill of the challenge yourself. Let’s make it a community effort to reach that towering 1,345 meters together.

Why Blindfolded?

Climbing blindfolded symbolises the courage, resilience, and adaptability that paraclimbing demands. It’s a tangible way to showcase the incredible strength of para-athletes and highlight the challenges they overcome daily. Plus, it’s a fun and meaningful way to involve everyone in spreading awareness.

Let’s Make Valentine’s Day About More Than Roses. Every pound you donate brings us closer to creating opportunities for climbers to thrive. Together, we can give more individuals the chance to discover the sport we love and achieve their dreams.

Let’s unite for the GRIT Collective, the UK Paraclimbing Collective and the power of community. Together, we can reach new heights.
