Climb like a girl ...


At Space Camp last summer, Makenna tried Rock Climbing and fell in love!  It’s the perfect sport for her.  She is dedicated, she is fearless, she is strong! 


She has been bugging us for months to take her climbing.  She didn’t fully understand that it’s a little more complicated than just heading to the gym for some climbing.  We wanted her to learn to do it correctly and safely. 
So for Christmas one of her presents was a Climbing Harness and a 6 week Climbing Class at Ascent Studio.  



For the past 6 weeks, Makenna has been a gym rat on Tuesday evenings.  Climbing class has been fun, educational and inspirational.  She learned how to rope climb, boulder, belay, climbing holds, how to tie a figure 8 knot, made new friends and managed to leave the gym each night covered in chalk. 


Ascent Studio an amazing climbing gym here in Fort Collins.

 Bouldering ... #nevergiveup


I absolutely love her strength!  Climb like a girl sissy!  
She will be back for more classes but first we have to pause for Soccer Season!!
