No Practice this week and sign up for Regionals

This is a reminder that there is no practice this week, but there is a freshly expanded gym with 70 new boulder problems that would love your attention!  Practice will resume on November 27.  The practices leading up to the Regional Championship are VERY IMPORTANT.  We will be going over the Regional on-sight format and what to expect.  Do not miss these practices.

Saturday Competition Bake Sale

Karen, Charlie's mother, has graciously volunteered to coordinate a bake sale during the youth competition.  Profits from the bake sale will go into the Steepteam fund to help cover coaching, gear, insurance, etc.  She's looking for other volunteers to bring baked or purchased baked goods to sell in individual serving sizes.  To help out, you can start by coordinating with her by email at kscabell@bresnan.net or phone 690-2094
