Just a few thoughts
We’re between World Cups in Salt Lake City, where the week’s second Speed and Boulder events begin tomorrow. The first round was spectacular, with beautiful weather and a huge enthusiastic crowd, while Paraclimbing hosted at The Front went off without a hitch. Many of the 1000+ attendees of the CWA Summit stayed for the show and were not disappointed. Yep, climbing gets the royal treatment in SLC, they do it right.
