Climbing Team Update

Saturday, January 15, our Comp. Climbing Team traveled to Reno, NV for the ABS Regional Competition. I am so proud of Spencer, Darcy, Laine, Suraya (unfortunately Sarah could not make the comp, so she supported the team from home), and Coach Andrew! They represented our community well on the big stage.  And *drum roll please* Darcy has earned a bid to Nationals in Colorado!

Andrew said he was very proud of our team in ways that podiums do not recognize. He mentioned Spencer’s maturity in reaching out to other teams, ignoring imaginary lines that adults seem to trip over. Also, he watched as Laine and Suraya bonded like sisters to become true teammates.

I love our gym’s community, and I see a clear snapshot of who we strive to be in our climbing team. We climb hard and reach out to people.

Looking for a way to support our team? We will be raffling a bike this month in the Rock Club to raise funds for our Climbing Team. The tickets will be $5 each or $20 for five tickets.
