USA CLIMBING YOUTH COMPETITION - THIS SUNDAY, MAY 4

Hi all. WOW, it sure came up fast, but it’s time for our annual spring USA Climbing Youth competition (SCS Series) again!

It’s THIS WEEKEND - SUNDAY, MAY 4

We will be stripping the gym Thursday evening beginning around 8:00PM (we will be open for regular climbing until then), and then CLOSED for course setting Friday and Saturday, and CLOSED for the competition Sunday, May 4.

We need tons of help with the course setting, course testing (which is very fun) and with spotting the kids during the event on Sunday. Please contact me if you can help . . . and no, you don’t have to be an expert! If you climb in the Peak regularly, then you have a good enough understanding of bouldering to set a few courses (even if it’s your first time), or certainly to come climb the new courses (“test”) as they go up and help us rate them.

SCHEDULE:

Friday – setting and testing from Noon ‘till 2:00AM or so. (free pizza , beer, soda provided in the evening!)

Saturday – setting and testing from Noon ‘till 10:00PM or so. (free pizza , beer, soda provided in the evening!)

Sunday – 3 sessions of climbers: 9:00-11:00; 11:30-1:30; 2:00-4:00. We need 8 spotters during each session.

Give us a few hours of help, and along with the free grub & libations, we will give you a free competition T-shirt and a free day pass.

PLEASE E-MAIL DAVE (hiddenpeak@mac.com) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP. THANKS!

I wish I could have stayed for the final session and awards ceremony. How did the HP team kids do?
