This weekend the Sloopers headed up to Palo Alto for the closest competition of the season at Stanford University.
The competition was held on the Stanford campus, and the gym was packed with 50 awesome problems and many, many climbers.
All the climbers were supplied with lots of snacks and a pizza lunch. The competition spanned a six hour period to ensure that every one had enough time on the wall given the crowds. By the end of the competition, everyone was exhausted!

It was another extremely successful weekend for the Sloopers, with Alex and Laura taking home first place finishes again in both the Collegiate competition as well as the Open competition. The Sloopers and the Humboldt Rock Monkeys swept the competition and walked away with all the ribbons for the weekend. It must have been the Ready Set Oats they all shared for breakfast!

The regional championship will be held at Sacramento State University and the Sloopers are looking forward to another chance to get on some new problems, have fun, and bring home some ribbons! Nationals is also quickly approaching... mark your calendars! April 23 at Mesa Rim in San Diego. Also, a huge thanks to the Patton family for hosting 13 climbers this weekend! |
