Boulderen aan de Dommel is also climbing together against Parkinson's!
The parKLIMson Foundation is joining forces with the ESAC during Bouldering aan de Dommel (BAD)! Together, we climb to raise awareness for Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is the fastest-growing brain disease worldwide. Fortunately, exercise helps enormously against the symptoms, and climbing happens to be a surprisingly good sport. ParKLIMson therefore makes climbing accessible with special climbing groups. Seven are already running in the Netherlands, and number eight will start this October in The Hague!
For more information take a look at their website.
The updated Urban Climbing Topo Eindhoven
Did you know that Ton van den Berg, the initiator of parKLIMson, organized an Urban Climbing tour at the ESAC 25 years ago? Back then, he put together the Urban Climbing topo (guidebook) of Eindhoven. Now, 25 years later a fully updated, super-deluxe version has been released. You definitely want to get your hands on it!
Buy a topo or T-shirt and support the charity!
During BAD, you can score this awesome topo and the one and only official BAD T-shirt. Ordering the topo directly with your registration? Then you'll immediately snag a nice pre-sale discount! All proceeds from the topos and T-shirts go to parKLIMson, so we can help even more people with Parkinson's get on the climbing wall. Take action and support this great deal!
If you non-ESAC friends that would like to join, send them this registration link!
