So you think you can climb V5?

So, a few of these problems might be rated below or above v5, but if you want to call yourself an Athens County V5er you should be able to make pretty short work of this list.

Artic Comes to Ohio

Just as the picture states it is cold here. Official word from the government is that the Artic Circle packed its bags and moved to Ohio. That being said we haven't been climbing much. Hopefully the weather improves so we can get back outside.

In the meantime everyone has sought shelter from the storms and training for the local comps. There will be three comps at Solution Rock Gym alone, a series. Then one at Hocking College and one at Ohio University. It should be interesting to see who wins the Athens county tri-fecta.

Well until the temps return.
