I am happy to announce that we have a new website! In fact, if you are reading this blog, then you are looking at the new site. I encourage all of you to browse through the site, check out the video that Lauren, one of our members, made, and follow our upcoming events. We can post our calendars much easier now, and competitions will be up further in advance. Speaking of competitions, we have one coming up in September. It is a bouldering comp, so we will have to shut down both the free standing boulder and the cave for about a week, but after that week, we will have 70 new problems for you. Our member night in August was a success! Thank you to all our members that came out for that, and thank you to our new Executive Chef, Keith, for his wonderful food at our event!

Things like this just let us know our gym is doing everything for all the right reasons. Climbing is really an excuse to push yourself and meet great people.  Take a look at the video one of our members made about their experience at our gym.

Our Climbing Team

When I was about 5 or 6 years old I played in a YMCA basketball league. It was my first experience being on a basketball team, and I had a lot to learn. By the time the last game of the season rolled around, I had yet to even take a shot. I closed my eyes and chucked a prayer at the basket only to realize that I had shot at the wrong hoop (good thing it was an airball). After the game the strangest thing happened. My dad took me out for ice cream because he was proud of me. I did not understand why my dad was proud of a son that threw the ball at the wrong basket, but he explained to me that progress is success.

We should all be proud of the City Beach Climbing Team. Last year they were able to send two children to Nationals and this year as the team has regrouped we are confident that they will be sending more.  Join our blog and follow our team during the next ABS season!  We always believe that you should be proud of the journey and not always the accomplishments!
