Just a few thoughts
Way to go Brooke! After literally a lifetime of climbing and competitions, appearing in our first Olympic Games, and too many podiums to count, it’s fantastic to see that Gold medal around her neck! Below check out two videos about her, more from the Hachioji World Cup, interesting articles from CEC, webinars for coaches and gym managers, a few routesetting explorations, piles of training advice, and more.
P.S. It’s not too late to join the party in Pittsburgh next month.
