BIG congratulations to our very own Team Rocky Top for a successful sport climbing season!! After many hours of up-down-ups, circuits, and projecting the roof of the batcave, our climbers have become veritable sport climbers with keen senses of how to climb efficiently on long routes!

Here are a few pictures of our climbers at last weekend's competition at in Norfolk, Va! Team Rocky Top came out ranked 6th in the region for sport climbing, with Ethan moving on to divisionals! Also, big thank you to the coaches for supporting our athletes through a big weekend of competition. We ALMOST all fit onto the podium block.

Huge thanks to for hosting an awesome comp, and to for keeping us fresh in our green sweatshirts.

**Our teams will be going on summer break starting in June, but check back mid-summer for an August tryout date!!**

And a huge thank you again to our amazing sponsors for making all of this possible
