Just a few thoughts
It’s happening right now in Austin. The long-anticipated Mesa Rim is about to open to the public with 50,000 square feet and 55 foot walls. But first they’re hosting the 2023 USA Climbing Team Trials – today and tomorrow! Details and link to the livestream. Then this weekend is the Paraclimbing National Championships. In person spectator tickets still available. It’s a showdown in Texas!
