CruxFest

When the sun rose on Saturday morning so did 49 climbers with one thing on their mind, to crush at the 8th annual Cruxfest. The new holds from Rock Candy and So Ill were in and placed meticulously on the wall. The prizes were spread amongst the table like presents on Christmas morning, and groggy, tired little climbers started to arrive. 10:30am the scent of pancakes and old sweaty climbing shoes filled the air. This could only mean one thing, it was climb time. Everyone was stoked to get on their first route of the day. There was alot up for stake today including the title of King and Queen of Athens county climbing. Ohio University and Hocking College did a combined competition score so the contestant with the highest points in each division from both competitions would take home the title. Faces of excitement filled the room as each climber was lowered off of their climb. Everyone was having a awesome time and climbed as hard as they could. We climbed all the way through the afternoon and then some. When it came to the end the winners of the day were announced. Congrats to all the climbers and another huge thanks to all our sponsors.
