Just a few thoughts
Last weekend the US National Team was decided in Atlanta, GA. Congrats to every climber who made the cut for your hard work, and we wish you the best as you prepare to represent the US on the world stage. The one world event we cannot ignore is still a tragedy unfolding, the end to the violence cannot come soon enough. On a lighter note, below you will find some great routesetting beta, and more good stuff for gym staff.
