In the creation of a 90 second video for The Wright, Eldorado took the opportunity to launch a new campaign, “Everyone Should Climb”. During the next 20 years, the company is looking to increase access to climbing across all demographic segments. While the design and construction of climbing gyms is still a key market for Eldorado, the company is developing new products to better meet the needs of K-12 schools and recreation centers.Â
And the biggest benefit from winning The Wright, may be that Eldorado was able to contribute to an organization that the Eldo Team supports with all its heart and soul—Paradox Sports. This stellar organization provides opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities to not just climb once but make climbing a lifelong hobby and bring them into the supportive, tightknit community of climbers.
