Lukas, owner of “The Climbing Wall,” a climbing gym in Billings, has been a passionate climber for years. Her passion for the sport led her to open her own gym, offering a safe and controlled environment for climbers of all skill levels. “The Climbing Wall” is more than just a gym; it’s a community. It’s a place where climbers can connect, learn, and grow together.

“A lot more people are interested in building resilience. People will come seek out care before any pain begins to happen, they want to learn how to become a more resilient athlete. We have sports that are inherently dangerous, falls of course are a part of things which of course means you’ll get nicks and bruises and get banged up but when you’re resilient and you’re able to be strong enough you can bounce back faster and not sustain a serious injury that makes you call it off for a long time.” Founded only in April, Cara hopes to see Mountain Movement grow and become a training staple for mountain athletes in and around the Billings area.

This statement expresses a desire for the program to be inclusive and accessible to a wider range of athletes, specifically snowboarders and skiers. The speaker highlights the importance of representing diverse backgrounds and skill levels in the program. The speaker’s interest in expanding the program’s reach goes beyond just including more athletes.
