Getting Caught Up

Leave a comment

I have not posted or even seen most things on this website for around a year and it is just amazing to read that a year ago I was struggling on a 5.10d when last week I flashed my first 5.12b at Mission Cliffs,SF, and I was so happy I had completed a V2 when I now have a list of v5′s I have done growing by the week!

So here is what has been going on recently; First I moved to Planet Granite climbing team in Sunnyvale and am now on the competition team. I have been climbing lots of  5.12s recently (while not finishing all of them) and have reached a new flash level in bouldering of v4.

In competition  I have moved up to Female youth C which kind of sucks because it is  people born from 2002-2003 and I am of course one of the shortest being on the bottom of my age group by 3 months away from youth D. However, it is more challenging than D I have pulled a 5th and fourth place victory out in YCL (youth Climbing Leauge.) However at Regionals I got ninth at SCS the most current competition season. SCS is top roping.

Overall, it seems amazing how much I have come on in just a year.

About Me..

I first decided I wanted to try climbing at a fair when I climbed a mobile climbing wall. We had a break coming up for school and my mom booked me for a climbing camp at the local gym, Twisters. I went and had an unbelievable time. I then took climbing up as a hobby going every Wednesday for a lesson. About three months ago I started to compete not competitively just for experience. At my first competition I did not do great but had loads of fun. I have gone to two YCL competitions and four SCS competitions. In the fall I will go to ACS a bouldering series. Climbing is no longer a hobby more of an obsession.

My First Competition

My first competition was at Planet Granite, Belmont the gym was really nice and I was a bit over whelmed when I saw how huge it was compared to Twisters. At first I was a bit nervous not knowing how it worked but the set-up was really simple. You were divided into categories based on your age and gender. I was categorized in female youth D. You then got a scorecard and there was a top ropes side and a bouldering side. You did as many top ropes and boulder problems as you could with three attempts at everything. They took your top three climbs for top ropes and the same thing for bouldering and added up your total amount of points. You also had a chance to do the speed climb, which I am not very good at. I did not do great in the competition, but I had lots of fun and it was a great experience. The climbs were different than at my regular gym, Twisters, which made the whole thing more fun.
