On Sunday, May 13th, the Zero Gravity team headed to the USA Climbing's SCS Regional Championships at City Beach in Fremont. The team met the best young climbers from Northern California and Northern Nevada to compete for a bid at the Division 1 Championships in Portland, Oregon on the weekend of June 9/10. The team climbed well.
Imagine coming to a whole new country, leaving the safety and security of your home for something new and exciting. For the fifth consecutive year, a number of Mission High School students visited Mission Cliffs continuing that very idea.

Climbing season is here. Yosemite, with it's long great traditional climbs and big walls, is perfect right now. Heading out to the great cliffs will undoubtedly be fun but it's crucial to stay safe while climbing. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to wear a helmet.
The forecast in Yosemite calls for perfect, clear weather for the next week. It's a perfect time for big wall season. For some climbers that means El Capitan, for some that means climbing a little and than doing El Rapitan, for a lot of climbers it means heading to the meadow for El Napitan. For elite Yosemite climbers, it eans time to race up the Nose again. This is a great video of Sean "Stanley" Leary and Dean Potter racing up the Nose in an unbelievably fast time. Diablo Rock Gym Manager, Hans Florine, who's owned the record a number of times, is training already. Get excited for El Cap Season.
