Just a few thoughts
Interesting and inspiring stuff below. Community grants and data about outdoor participation. Videos about new gear, new moves, and how to block holds. A comp series expands, and keynote announced. But… what’s really on our minds… WHO IS GOING TO THE OLYMPICS??? Aspiring athletes have one more chance, and it begins today in Budapest. Boulder qualification is over by the time you read this, so get up early these next few days and watch it live.
