Inclimb Team Finishes 2nd at Regional Championships, 6 Team Members Qualify for Nationals.

Inclimb's Climbing Team finished 2nd place in the team standings at this past weekends ABS Regional Championships at Edgeworks in Tacoma, Wa. Inclimb had 12 climbers competing with 130 climbers from 19 other teams throughout the North West. This is the best team finish that we've had and it was hard earned for sure. All the climbers should be proud of themselves and their team for a great ABS season!

Each climber had three boulder problems for their qualifying round with the top ten from each category advancing to the finals round. When the chalk dust settled after qualifiers Inclimb had 9 climbers advance to finals.

Below is a partial list of results as we are still waiting for some scores and final standings.
