ABS Divisional Championships

Every year it becomes more and more evident that the future of climbing are those that are competing in the youth comp scene of today.  This past weekend at the ABS Divisional Championships we saw again what the future of climbing holds.

The Seattle Bouldering Project was host to this years Divisionals which was a first for the ABS season.  Typically for the ABS championship season we would have a Regional Championships and then move right to Nationals.  This added qualifying round has added one more comp to filter out climbers which should result in having the best of the best at Nationals and raise the bar a bit in youth competitive climbing.

The Academy had 8 climbers compete in the two day event and had a great showing amid some very strong climbers and teams.  We finished 5th as a team out of 23 teams!  The four teams ahead of use are all from multi-gym teams from major metro areas so we're pretty psyched to do so well with such strong competition.
