RIT Safety Solutions of Twinsburg, Ohio announced they have joined forces with Courageous Kids Climbing in their effort to provide children with special needs the opportunity to learn how to rock climb.
Omar Jordan, President of RIT Safety Solutions said “it is our distinct honor to support Courageous Kids Climbing by providing them one of our E-Z Don rescue harnesses. It is our hope that the E-Z Don Harness will be put to good use giving physically challenged kids the chance to feel what it is like to climb a rock wall by having climbing coaches hoist them up along the climbing wall.”
Jordan went on to say that RIT Safety Solutions has also offered to loan any additional E-Z Don harnesses to Courageous Kids Climbing on an as needed basis.
Jeff Riechmann, event coordinator for Courageous Kids Climbing added that “giving these courageous climbers the chance to learn how to climb helps them to build self-confidence as well as learn problem solving while under the watchful eye of trained rock climbers. By having RIT Safety Solutions provide us with this harness, we will be able to expand the climbing opportunities to those children who are physically challenged.”
RIT Safety Solutions manufactures state-of-the-art rescue and escape systems for the fire service and private industry.
