What a way to kick off the 2026 Canadian Climbing Medicine Symposium. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Yesterday, we brought together an incredible group of clinicians, coaches, researchers and climbers united by a shared goal: advancing the way we understand, support and care for the climbing community.
After opening remarks from Yasser, we dove into a full day of learning with outstanding presentations from leaders in the field, including Dr. Jared Vagy, Dr. Carrie Cooper and Dr. Kevin Cowell.
From evidence-based rehabilitation to performance and injury management, Day 1 was filled with thoughtful discussions, practical takeaways and meaningful connections.
We wrapped up the day by stepping out of the symposium venue and onto the rock for a group rope climb - a perfect reminder of the community that brings us all together.
Thank you to our speakers, attendees, volunteers and supporters. This symposium exists because of the passion and dedication of this community and weโre so grateful to share it with you โค๏ธ
