Maureen Beck
Maureen Beck was born without her left hand but that didn’t stop her from picking up the sport of climbing at the age of 12 and learning to climb all over New England. Now based in Colorado’s Front Range, Mo spends her nights training at Earth Treks and her weekends climbing all over the American southwest. She works closely with the adaptive climbing community through Paradox Sports and is the Chair of the USAC Paraclimbing Committee.
As a competitive climber, she has won four national titles, a gold medal at the 2014 Paraclimbing World Championships in Spain and defended that title with a gold medal at the 2016 World Championships in Paris. In 2018, she went on her first alpine expedition to the Northwest Territories in Canada’s Nahanni National Park where she and fellow adaptive climber Jim Ewing attempted the legendary Lotus Flower Tower. Maureen starred in the 2017 Film “Stumped” which has won numerous awards and toured hundreds of cities all over the world. Mo is an athlete for Sterling Rope and The North Face.
