Climbing: All things climbing-related have been at a bit of a standstill as I transitioned from bouldering to sport season. The change is always hard, because it seems like for several months you are neither in endurance nor power shape. HOWEVER, this miserable transition was offset by one of the coolest climbing competitions the valley has to offer: Thrash and Dangle Fest! This comp provides not only some of the most unconventional problems, but also some alternative side activities including blindfolded climbing, ninja warrior obstacle courses, and balance beam races. I was excited to win the open category for the 3rd year in a row and take home the cash purse!
Track: Throughout the last couple of months, I have taken an interest in one of the less noted track and field events, pole vaulting. I began vaulting to get my mind off of climbing immediately following the Bouldering National Championship and was hooked instantly. As a senior, I don't foresee involvement in high school track following the State Championship. With that being said, it has been a wonderful experience learning the intricacies of a new sport and using what little time I have had to find passion in an unlikely place.
Soybu: Recently, Soybu has come out with their Mod Nouveau collection and I have to say I absolutely love it. My personal favorite is the Kyra Tank, whose mesh fabric has kept me cool, even through afternoon track practices.
I look forward to the upcoming state track meet and regional climbing competition. Stay tuned for more updates throughout summer and fall!
