The CLIMB Protocol
Built for warriors, not wallflowers. This category dives into the full spectrum of the CLIMB Protocol — a one-on-one, clinically supervised, peer-guided trauma reset that includes medical clearance, adventure therapy, movement, and mission-driven recovery. Whether you’re at sea level in the Keys or 7,600 feet up in Colorado, this is where transformation begins. No lectures. No fluff. Just the climb.
