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.
