Pair of Climbers with Emily Seelenfreund

Paraclimbing! Wheelchair basketball! MURDERBALL? Oh My!

Paraclimbing national champion and BORP Adaptive Sports CEO Emily Seelenfreund joins Phoebe to reflect on their adaptive approaches to rock climbing. Andrew asks some sutmblingly naive questions about paraclimbing and wheelchairs. Our conversation sprawled into some other great topics we couldn't fit into this episode (namely WICKED and media representations of wheelchair users), so you'll hear more from Emily soon!

Drinks we drank:

• tetley tea
• flying embers orange peach passion kombucha
• latte with fancy frothing

Things we mentioned:

• International Paraclimbing Competitions (and Phoebe's gold medal!)
• BORP Adaptive Sports & Recreation
• OI: osteogenesis imperfecta
• How wheelchairs fit in cars
• Murderball
• Power Soccer
