ABS Regionals






The Shiloh's Edge team had a great showing at regionals, placing all four of its climbers in the finals, including Coach Adam.
Ben didn't have much competition, being the only one in his age group, but he sent some very hard problems, including a V8 twice (he didn't like how he finished the first time)
It was a very long day as the qualifiers went from 9-1 (we finished at 12 and went out for lunch) and then the finals began at 4 and went until about 7pm.
Luke and Ben both were invited to Nationals next month. JP had a great showing in finals, making huge progress on a problem that no one else in his age group could finish. Unfortunately, he inadvertantly used the wrong foot chip and didn't get the points for a completed route.
I also was happy with my finals showing, nearly flashing (completing first try) the first problem. It was fun to be a part of this huge event and we are excited for nationals.
