Concepts of Climbing

The primary objectives of the Super Climber program are to improve health and perseverance of students and adults through an exciting and riveting activity. The climbing activity can be addictive and thus wean us away from unhealthy lifestyles such as gadgets, TV and lethargy.

The first thing a child does as soon as he / she can walk is try to climb onto something. Our hunger for climbing comes from our ancestral DNA - the apes. Climbing is a wonderful activity that gives multiple benefits - builds endurance and strength, burns calories and accelerates weight loss, improves mental strength - particularly perseverance and resilience, to name a few.

Some of the other benefits of Wall Climbing:

• Combines cardio and strength into a single workout
• Strengthens and tones muscles
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Improves flexibility
• Prevents chronic disease
• Conquer fear and improve ability to risk
• Improves self belief, confidence, self esteem, perseverance and resilience
