Professional Climbers International (PCI) is an organization that I work with that organizes and markets clinics nationwide, providing climbers of any level the opportunity to worth together with and to learn from professional climbers towards bettering their technique, strength, approach, and overall mentality in climbing. This was the second PCI Clinic that I coached (second to Seattle in February). I really enjoyed working with Paul and Daniel.

For the second year in a row, the Dominion Boulder Bash took form with unique “cage-like” volumes composing two steep, impressive structures. The competition began on Friday with Qualifiers in the evening, then Saturday were Quarterfinals in the morning and Semifinals at night, followed by a fourth round (Finals) on Sunday.

This was my first time being involved in one of these events, so I was excited to see what they are all about. While the PCI (Professional Climbers International) has been around for a while, they have only started to offer youth and adult clinics in the past year. (For more info about the PCI visit www.proclimbers.com). Some of my friends had worked as instructors at a few of the first clinics,... ]]> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:16:00 -0400 12804 2012-04-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-7-1333307794.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-5-1333307794.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-6-1333307794.JPG
