Hello Fellow Climbers!
We just wanted to let the parents of last week's campers know that the pictures from the Punk Rockers' session are online now! Just click the link on the right under "Check Out Our Pictures". We hope you all enjoy them! We had such a great time with the campers, hopefully we will see some of you in the gym! Until then...

Sunshine Day!

Another beautiful day! We had an awesome day top roping with one of the BRG Mountain Guides, Brian! It was sunny almost the entire day, I'm sure most of us got some color out there on the rock. The last day of camp is always bittersweet. We're sad to see such great kids leave but we're looking forward to next week's group! We'll have pictures up of this week's session by Monday so be sure to check out the pictures link! Until then...

...And Back Out!



Whew, what a hike today! The campers were great though, and even had enough energy to climb a 65ft. route multiple times! We got lucky because the Southside of Looking Glass, which is normally packed, was empty when we got there! We got about an hour of the whole rock face to ourselves! It was a beautiful day made better by watching the campers get further and further along the route with every try! Great job guys! We'll have more pictures from this session by the weekend but until then....

Into the Woods

Hellow Fellow Climbers!
We have our second Punk Rockers group (age 11-13) and we're about to head into our first full day of top roping in Pisgah! They have been bouldering up a storm in and out of the gym so I think they're looking forward to trying out their top roping and belaying skills out on real rock! We're all pretty excited. There's a good energy in the gym! We'll take some pictures and have them up this afternoon, so be sure to check back in! Until then...

Our First Blog!

Hello Fellow Climbers!
Welcome to our first BRG blog! It's still in the experimental phase, so we'd love to hear what you think! Let us know what you like seeing or what else you'd like to see here!

It's hard to believe it is already the end of June! Summer is just flying by! We have already had two School of Rock camp sessions and the kids have been great. It's so much fun to watch them get excited about the sport, putting up new routes and improving their techniques. We're having a blast in the gym and in the forest. Spending the day climbing in Pisgah with a bunch of great kids...rough day at work! ;) We feel really lucky to be able to do this camp. It's such a rush to get a glimpse of what the next generation of climbers is going to look like! Hopefully some will come back for Climbing Team in the Fall. We'd love to build a really strong team and go to some competitions!



In a few weeks we will be having our first competition of the summer at the gym. It's the first annual Camp Counselor Competition! Couselors can come compete for the glory of their camp and the coveted CCC Trophy. For anyone interested, the competition is July 12th 6:30pm-9:30pm at the gym. The cost is $15 pre-registered and $20 at the door. We had a good turn out for our Brevard Boulder Bash in May and we're hoping to get another one for this comp. We'd love to see a bunch of camps battling it out! :) That's it for now, until next time...
