​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Last updated: February 19, 2025

​

We at Second Ascent Ropes are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive, user-friendly experience that aligns with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level.

What web accessibility is

Web accessibility ensures that people with disabilities can use websites with the same ease and enjoyment as other users. This includes individuals with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Accessibility is achieved through assistive technologies, such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and clear website structures.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and made it accessible to the AA level. The site has been designed to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard-only navigation. As part of this effort, we have:

​

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site to English (United States)

  • Organized content in a logical order across all site pages

  • Defined clear heading structures for easy navigation

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet required contrast standards

  • Reduced the use of motion-based content

  • Ensured that all videos, audio, and downloadable files are accessible

​

These adjustments are part of our ongoing effort to maintain an inclusive digital experience for all users.

Requests, issues, and suggestions

We are committed to maintaining an accessible website and welcome feedback on how we can improve. If you encounter accessibility issues or need assistance, please contact our accessibility coordinator:

We aim to respond to all accessibility-related inquiries within 14 business days.

Climbing Toward Sustainability

Second Ascent Ropes was founded by Carter Watsabaugh, a University of Wyoming student with a deep passion for the outdoors and sustainability. Second Ascent Ropes transforms retired climbing ropes into stylish, eco-conscious belts—each piece capturing the spirit of adventure and the ingenuity of upcycling. Carter’s work not only breathes new life into climbing gear but also sends a clear message about environmental responsibility and innovation.

Through Second Ascent Ropes, Carter invites you to join a movement that celebrates the fusion of adventure, creativity, and sustainability. Every piece is more than just an accessory; it’s a testament to the power of reimagining the old to create something new, meaningful, and enduring.
