Sports 312: Climbing A Sports Legacy with Trevor Hahn

1) Episode Summary

Kim Wardlow welcomes Trevor Hahn for a conversation about the legacy and future of blind sports, with a strong focus on climbing, snowboarding, independence, and adaptive outdoor adventure. Trevor shares how growing up low vision shaped his relationship with sports, how losing the rest of his sight forced him to rethink identity and freedom, and how climbing helped him find his way back into adventure.

The conversation moves through crack climbing in Moab, developing new climbing routes in South Dakota, learning from communities like Paradox Sports, and using communication systems and adaptive strategies to make climbing and snowboarding safer and more independent. Trevor also talks about the future he hopes to see: blind and low vision athletes being treated not as spectators or passengers, but as contributors, leaders, innovators, and full members of the outdoor community.
