| The May 21 edition of Climb Like A Girl brought thirteen crushers to Challenge Buttress, where we lived up to the area's name by throwing ourselves at some of the canyon's tougher routes. Sharon kicked things off, putting up the most accessible route in the area, Sweet and Low, 5.5. Steph was humbled on Coral Bells Arete, a burly mixed trad and sport climb. After setting aside any pride and stick-clipping the first two bolts, she battled her way up the route and stuck the finish. Janna put on an impressive performance on MEGA, a full-value 35-meter pitch featuring an overhung, cruxy section in the middle. The evening also featured several exciting milestones. Gail climbed all the way to the chains on Sweet and Low. Kalyee, MJ, and Irene joined us for their very first club climbing event. Tsokyi shook off the winter cobwebs with her first outdoor climbing day of the season. By the end of the evening, thirteen climbers had shared plenty of laughs, encouragement, and hard-earned victories. If you've been thinking about joining us, we'd love to have you come out for a future Climb Like A Girl outing. |
