ABS Regionals at TRC

Ben climbed in the Regional competition for bouldering at TRC today. Six boys in his division, all had to climb the same four climbs, and they were very difficult. Ben placed 2nd, and he and his two best friend are all going to the finals tonight!!

I'm loading his 4 climbs on You Tube here:

Ben was in 2nd place going into the finals in Male Youth D. The final routes were very difficult, and he placed 4th overall. We're really proud of the way he competed, and the way he handled himself during hours of isolation and on site climbing. He's dissappointed tonight, but I think he'll bounce back by the morning.

I'm tired and off to bed!
