Crazy awsome climbers

Been long time since we posted about how the team has done. We had a great showing and ABS regional championships. They all tried there best and crushed hard. The routes were very interesting, lots of fun, and very technical climbing. They had four routes to try to qualify for finals. At finals they had 3 routes to do in finals. Kolbi and Jack made finals. Which were very hard and lots of fun to climb. They were both very excited and tired after climbing them. This was a very long hard day for everyone. Here were the results for the team. Jack Lackey took 8th place, Lexi McIntyre tok 20th, Kolbi Lackey took 11th, and Jordan Korth took 17th Place. The team did a great job for this being our first bouldering season. Especially for some this was there first Big Climbing Competition.

After regional championships went got right back into training for SCS season. Which rope season. Which everyone has done and we do a lot better in. Our facility does not have a specific bouldering areas so we can train for that. We started training really hard for endurance and becomming stronger climbers, both physically and mentally. Climbing is very mentally. The stronger you are there the stronger climber you can be easily. We also got some new members to our team. Some of them will be competing in the USA Climbing series others wont be. But still all in all they are part of the team and becomming better climbers. The new team members are Jessica Piet, Michael Schenning, and Michael Althoff.

At the end of January we went up to Adventure Rock for there annaul climbing competition. Which is one of the best competitions in the midwest area. The team was training really hard before this. Which help everyone out a lot. Wednesday before the competition. We had our last hard climbing day before the competition. We were praticing how to read routes, technical moves, and how to problem solve while on the wall. Kolbi while climbing that day cut her index finger bad. Which we had to stop her from climbing the rest of the day. Which made it hard for her to climb because she could not pull on hard on holds. The day of the competition everyone was excited and very nervous. The routes were a lot of fun to watch everyone climb. Very technical and fun movements on the routes. All in all the team had a great day climbing. Some of them this was there very first climbing competition. Which they didnt know what to expect. Kolbi it was a hard day cause she could really not use that finger which made it really hard. Here are The results for the team Jessica took 11th Place, Lexi took took 19th, Jack took 19th, Micheal A. took 12th, and Kolbi took 15th Place. The team had a very great showing and had a lot of fun.
