Throwdown – University of Delaware, Newark, DE

I was in Toronto on Saturday to climb in the Battle of the North and what a battle it was! Tons of talent in men’s and women’s open and it was came down to the wire in finals. I had a great time climbing and qualified for my second TdB finals in a row which is super exciting. I thought that the qualifier round problems were the best overall group of problems at a True North redpoint/scramble session that I have been to, so hats off to the setting crew!

I was climbing at Midnight Burn on Saturday and it was a great way to finish up my Halloween! I finished 8th in Open and had the chance to climb in finals, which is always fun. I entered the costume contest as a “fly on the wall.” Haven’t you always wanted to be one? But my husband stole the show with his costume. He dressed up as me. Long blonde braid, chalk bag, taped fingers, tank top, booty shorts, Sanuks…he was a dead ringer.
