Training Weekend July

The Team had a training weekend on the 11th and 12th. Saturday was a great day with lots of pumped forearms and sore abs.

Sunday was the Climb-A-Thon, there were 11 participants, each climbed 1000 metres in under 6 hours. Overall, on the day, we all climbed 11,632 metres in under 5 hours. Bryson Klein climbed the most with 1500 metres done in the 5 hours. Well done to him and everyone that climbed. It was a fun day and raised lots of money for the team. Thanks to all the belayers and support crew, we couldn't have done it without you!
