The
Summer Sizzler was a league designed to challange teams of two.
Participants competed in everything from an impressive obsticle
course to challanging routes & boulder problems. The courses
included swinging pendulum drops, 15 foot simulated lead falls,
and the "Leap of Faith" - a jump from the ledge on the
top of the Buddha, across to holds on another wall! (SCAREY!!!)
The teams faught hard and the scores showed it. Team SuperFly
came in 3rd place! Jake & Robin both
worked hard week after week to build their score! Both are newcomers
to the sport, however they are quick learners and promise to have
successful climbing adventures (like their recent trip to the
Gunks)! Second Place was well earned by Team Nord Wand.
Marty & Erich are a father & son team who
don't give up. Throughout the four weeks they showed more endurance
than any other team. They worked hard, and it paid off in the
end! First Place goes to Team Slacker! Mike
& Aaron are friends who work well together - even
at work! They experienced a little slip up in one event, but they
corrected it and never looked back! We hope everyone learned something
from the courses we set up, and built some more muscle and endurance
by participating in the different events! But most of all, we
hope you all had a good time. Prizes will be handed out very shortly!!!
We look forward to seeing everyone climbing hard in the gym real
soon!
