This comp will be using the Bouldering World Cup Qualifying Round format to help prepare youth for the provincial champs and other high-level competitions.  Due to this format, the comp will be pre-registration only (closed Jan 15).

I will be down in Philly at Winter Burn this week.  Lots of love for this gym and this series, so it will be nice to go back to Valley!  My caddy will also be back in action as he accompanies me to PRG.  Whew!  I got so tired carrying my own water bottle last comp;-)
