Regional Wrap Up

I was very impressed with how our team handled ourselves in the face of some stiff competition and some very stiff routes.  At the end of the day everyone was still smiling and I was proud of how everyone climbed.  Regionals is always a special event that celebrates our community of youth climbers and provides an opportunity to acknowledge significant efforts and successes made by our ever improving climbers.  I hope everyone gained something from the experience.

We had 15 climbers compete and we did some serious crushing!

8 climbers qualified for Divisionals in Sacramento June 13th-14th

6 climbers were medalists - Emily (3rd) Parker (3rd) Ben (3rd) Colton (3rd) Charlie (1st) Nate (1st)

Region MVP's - Charlie & Justin

Region Most Improved - Parker

Region most likely to be President - Carter

Regional Coordinator's Pick - Colton

Great Job and look to climb with Jim on the rims on Thursday nights this summer.  Also the Dirtfest at Zimmerman Park will be the weekend of June 6th.

For climbers attending Divisionals, practice is Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm - 7:45pm.  Travel plans will be discussed at practice on the 19th.

We are also looking for team photos taken from previous years. I recall photos being taken at Momentum Regionals in 07 and Bozeman Regionals in 08. If you have one of the digital files you can email it to me.

If you have not yet reserved a room in Boise you can now get our group rate through our own personal Doubletree web reservation portal located here. The $69 team rate is good if reservations are made by May 12th.
