Once I came home from NZ I joined the Quarry Climbing Team! I've loved it!!! Dec. 8th was the ABS Regionals Comp. it was really fun. It was in Ogden at The front climbing gym. I have three coaches: Cali, Taylor and Andrew. Tyler is kinda like a coach too. We have a team blog, it's
http://quarryclimbingteam.blogspot.com/ they have lots of pictures. Here are some pictures....

I checked into isolation around 11:00 am and I started climbing around 4:00 pm! So that means I was in ISO for 5 hours! At first I was with Cammi, Clara and Mazey but then they were called to climb and Calli went out to watch them. So for 30 min. I was alone in ISO. I was with Shyanne for a while. We stretched, warmed up, ate, and rested until she had to go climb. Once she went out I was alone and waiting for Maddie to come. Maddie checked into ISO like 5 min. before they closed check-in for our division! Once she came we listened to music, talked, rested, warmed up and stretched until Calli came. Once she came we were traversing and trying hard moves. We also talked and rested and ate. They were running about 45 min. behind. I was suppose to start climbing at 3:01 and Maddie at 2:54. But I started climbing at 4:00 and Maddie went out a few min. before me. Once we got out there I wasn't as nervous as I thought. I think because in isolation I forgot about all my nervousness and how many people were out there. There were teams coming from all over. Some were from Ogden, Sandy, Provo, Salt Lake, New Mexico and Arizona! It was pretty rad. Cammi got 3rd place in her division! And Clara got 7th and I'm not sure what Mazey got but she is going to divisionals in Arizona. I placed 17 out of everyone in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah in my division!! Here are some more pictures

We had such a great time!!!!
Last month was the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. My dads friend got to go
for his work and so he took us. I got to get checked out of school
early for it. The trade show was in Salt Lake City. I got a ton of free stuff and I got to meet my 3 most fav. climbers!! I met Chris Sharma, Sasha DiGulian and Daila Ojeda. They were all SO nice. And I got all of their autographs! Sadly I can't find the picture of me and Daila Ojeda right now. :(
After the trade show my dad, Steve and I went to this yummy restaurant and that's what I got. In the back you can see the sushi :)
