I wasn't familiar with this until reading a post on the CMT/HNPP site. Someone may find something helpful there. No, I've never been to one.

It sounds really good. The climbing wall sounds interesting. Enjoy. 👍

HI jimeka I have done "adapted climbing" before. there is a group near where I live. they put you in a very strong harness and they use a pully system to raise you up if you can't pull yourself up. It was fun. I was in much better shape then. I got all the way to the top with minimal assistance. the best part was rappelling down.

I used to love rock climbing, I specialised in it at University. There was nothing better than scaling a rock face first thing in a morning when the sun was coming up. I had so much fun when I was younger. The group I was at Uni with meet up every 5 years and those that still can, go walking or climbing. I go just to see everyone. This year we are celebrating all of us having made it to 65. 🤗🍫💐

it's funny. when i first started using a cane i was super depressed and went through it again my first time with a rollator and chair... but when i read this, i got all excited like, 'what cool things have they got on offer?' lol, i guess i'm more comfortable with my illness now. thx for sharing!

My daughter lives over 2000 miles from me, but we’d love to go together. She has CMT/HNPP, which I apparently have, too. There are so many innovative tools out there which I would never know about otherwise.
