Klimmen met Parkinson

"Als je Parkinson hebt, dan is beweging essentieel. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat Sportklimmen daarin een verrassend krachtig hulpmiddel is. Het bevordert balans, spierkracht en zelfvertrouwen. Wanneer je voor het eerst een klimhal binnenloopt en eens rondkijkt is dat best intimiderend. Zeker wanneer je Parkinson hebt. In landen waar klimmen populair is zoals Zwitserland, Oostenrijk en de Verenigde Staten, zijn al meer dan 30 klimgroepen specifiek voor mensen met Parkinson. In Nederland is Stichting parKLIMson gestart met groepen in de klimhallen van Neoliet in Eindhoven en Heerlen. De ambitie is dit uit te rollen in heel Nederland.

Klimmen daagt je uit op evenwicht, balans, snelheid, hand-oogcoördinatie en planning. Je maakt grote bewegingen en de groep helpt je door aan te moedigen tot je de top bereikt.

Onderzoek toont aan dat sportklimmen de voortgang van de ziekte vertraagt. Binnen de klimgroepen van parKLIMson ontdekken mensen met Parkinson op een veilige en gezellige manier de voordelen van sportklimmen. Ervaring met klimmen is niet nodig! Sportklimmen is een veelbelovende en motiverende vorm van lichaamsbeweging voor mensen met Parkinson!"

Is there any app that lets you use the separate BT earpieces (like AirPods etc) to communicate directly from one to the other?

You connect them to one phone, as normal, but then two people have each one in one ear and can talk to each other?

I was with a friend to a climbing hall, and even though it was a "quiet" time, it was still hard to talk when one person is far up on the wall and the other was securing you on the floor. Thought this could be a perfect solution.

A #mountains oriented sports watch that automatically detects #climbing routes? Now I'm interested. Half of the time I'm not sure myself if I'm starting in the right route or not.
