The Front's Youth Climbing Team






Our spring season has begun practice started this week and we had our first outdoor day two weeks ago. With cars packed with kids and crash pads we headed down south to the Land of a Thousand Boulders, Triassic. The weather was perfect. Warm in the sun, cool in the shade and the sandstone had a nice soft feel to it. A big change from climbing on plastic all winter. For most of our team this was their first time being out climbing on real rock so it was good to watch them figure out and work problems together to get their first outdoor sends.



While out we ran into Front Members Patrick and Ryan in morning and later in the afternoon we worked two fingers with Jason and Sara.


Here's Coach Mike and Chad working Lemonhead.

After this past week I'm excited for our spring season and getting outside.
