Bend Endurance Academy is sending seven athletes to USA Climbing’s Youth National Championships in Chicago. These athletes have been competing in the three disciplines of bouldering, lead/top-rope, and speed climbing over the past 9 months. On their journey to Nationals, the climbers must compete at Local, Regional, and Divisional competitions to move on through to the next round. In order to compete at Nationals in their chosen discipline, climbers must place in the top six in the Division, which is made up of all youth climbers from Oregon and Washington.
The athletes will be competing with hundreds of others from around the United States, coming together to try their best on the hardest climbs possible. You can tune in to the live stream at the USA Climbing Youtube page. Three coaches will accompany the athletes:
