2 great comps are going on this weekend. We (finally!) have the next installment of Summer Sweat Fest going down at Climber’s Rock. And the annual summer comp party that is Sun Burn will be hosted by Philadelphia Rock Gym’s Valley location. I’m psyched to head out to Dog Days at CR to get my climb on. See you there!
