Competition Season
Winter begins a series of USAC events for open and youth competitors. This past weekend was Bouldering Open Nationals in which Ashima Shiraishi and Sean Bailey were the top finalists. Friday begins Bouldering Youth Nationals where 5 Peak Team members will be vying for first! We wish Del, Nicolas, Paul, Trip, and Tyler the best as they travel out to Oregon. Go Crush!
In January, 2019 Combined Invitational in saw two previous Riverrock competitors, Kyrie Condie and Zach Galla, take first place. This event was designed to help identify who will represent the United States in climbing in the upcoming Olympics.
Bouldering Open Nationals will be re-broadcast on ESPN 2, Feb. 17. To learn more about USAC Competitions and where to watch events visit usaclimbing.org.
Passages Welcomes A New Class
More than 100 face-to-face interviews with highly motivated folks seeking a promotion or position on the Passages Staff has yielded more than 40 new hires. Thankfully, the vast majority of last year's Staff will be returning too!
Although all Passages Staff participate in 35 hours of pre-season Training as well as CPR / 1st Aid Training, this year we hosted our first New Employee Orientation for our new hires.
45 new Staff and 40 Parents participated in an evening of learning good stuff, doing fun stuff, setting high expectations and getting to know one another.
There was even a grape-juice toast with the Parents to celebrate the beginning of "long-term gainful employment". We also gave thanks for allowing Passages to be a part of the village that produced such amazing young adults.
