Your guide to climbing pre and post gender affirming surgery

This resource has been borne out of a need to help prepare TGD climbers for gender affirming surgery in relation to their climbing practice. This resource will provide practical tips to TGD climbers wanting to get back into climbing after gender affirming surgery. It will also cover ways for TGD climbers to take care of themselves and their bodies pre- and post-op, and foster a healthier, restful relationship between their climbing and their new body!

This resource was compiled in partnership with TGD climbers with lived experience, existing information, in partnership with NOMAD Bouldering Gym, as well as with consultation from Physiotherapist and Climbing Care coach Dr Mattias Braach- Maksvytis (DPT), he/him.
