bouldering

If you’re a rock climber, there’s bouldering throughout the park year-round and sport climbing at Wolf Rock, a short hike from the park’s visitor’s center.

It offers everything from trailside bouldering to two-pitch trad lines.

Luttenberger hopes that situation will change in coming years so that bouldering treatments are eventually officially recognized and covered by health care systems.

Zajetz’s patients pay him privately for bouldering sessions.

A dedicated climber himself, he saw potential in the sport because of the intense focus it requires and the strong emotions it can bring up, and he began to incorporate bouldering sessions into talk therapy with certain patients.
