Hey guys,
So I have Chiari Malformation type 1. My symptoms are pretty under control but I do have some co-ordination problems. I am also really clumsy.
I wanted to go bouldering or rock climbing. Does anyone on here do it? I used to when I was younger but haven't since being diagnosed. Just wondering is it safe??

Personally, if you feel your body can handle it, then why not? I was diagnosed with Chiari at the end of 2016, I have yet to have surgery. I do have symptoms that come and go, but I don't let it take control of my life. Just last weekend I went to a huge water park and rode plenty of rides, I will admit I was hurting a little the next day but hey maybe it's because I'm getting older too lol. If anything rain hurts me more then physical activity. Those headaches are no joke. The only thing that might concern me with rock climbing (if it was me) is constantly having to look up, I wonder if my neck would start to hurt. I do get neck pains quite often.. if you don't, then it doesn't hurt to try it?
