The Yeti's Lair, ABS Season 11, Nov. 21, 2009

This past weekend the InClimb Rock Gym’s Climbing Team headed south to Klamath Falls, OR for the first ABS sanctioned competition at The Yeti’s Lair. Going to a new gym is always exciting with new terrain, new features, and different route setters-The Yeti’s Lair did not disappoint. Team members enjoyed all the new holds and while the youth problems were a bit easy everyone was psyched on the route setting from the Intermediate to Open routes.

With 14 team members in attendance The Yeti’s Lair was awash in the blue shirts of the InClimb Team. After warming up and stretching the climbers went about dissecting the routes quickly leaving the youth climbs behind and venturing into intermediate, advanced, and some of our youth climbers even sending into the open category.

InClimb managed to take home first place in every age category that we had a climber in. River Helmich (14) in Male Youth B, and Olivia Brumwell (10) in Female Youth D pulled off a repeat of their performance at the Rogue Rock Gym two weeks ago by again laying claim to first over all male and female.

The team will be hard at work in the gym during the next three weeks preparing for the next competition on December 12^th at Clubsport in Tigard, OR. The Clubsport comp should prove to be the hardest comp for team members this year bringing strong climbers from throughout the Pacific North West.

Medford Comp Results

InClimb had a strong showing at this weekend’s ABS competition at the Rouge Rock Gym in Medford, OR. We had 14 competitors climbing from InClimb and managed to take home 1^s place for both male and female overall. River Helmich (Male Youth B) climbed his way to 1^st place overall in the male division bringing in a high score and besting some very strong competitors in the junior as well as the open categories. The overall winner for the females was InClimbs Olivia Brumwell (Female Youth D). Olivia is in the youngest age category and managed to turn in the highest score of all female competitors.

As always it was great to see how well the team climbed during the comp- pushing themselves as individuals as well as encouraging each other as teammates. Everyone climbed real strong and all the hard work and training is showing.

The host gym did a great job with route setting- lots of new tasty holds, good use of volumes, and some great boulder problems.

Smith Rock Spring Break

Spring Break and nice weather allowed 7 climbers from the team to head out to our local crag- Smith Rock. Climbing outside is great training and really makes the climber focus on their footwork and technique.

We had great temps and everyone got some good climbing in. Hopefully we can get more members of the team outside in the future. Here's a list of the climbs we did.

Ancylotoma (5.9)

Helium Woman (5.9)

Capatain Xenolith (5.10a)

Chain Reaction (5.12c) we all took a couple shots at this classic....maybe next time!

Gumby (5.10b)

Thanks to all the parents who took time to help out with driving!

The climber's on this trip were- Abby B., Malia S., River H., Riley J., Tempest C, Tristian H, Walker D.
