Rock climbing is actually a really great core strengthening activity, however when Naveen asked me if I wanted to take Keira I wasn't so sure. Ataxia is always something we're concerned about with K's OMS so anything extra we can do to help her be stronger is a bonus.
We figured she is harnessed in and it would be worth trying at least once. If she's not into it right now, we can always try again in another year or two. Although K was a little nervous (which comes out as silliness and drives her dad nuts), I think she did pretty good.
Here's Keira... all harnessed and ready to go. She looks super excited don't you think? :)
Checking to make sure she has her foot in the right place
K started to get apprehensive when she was higher than Naveen so he decided to climb up with her.
And before we left, Naveen even got a chance to try out his skills.
