2010 ABS national championships
just got back from washington DC where the team and I attended the ABS national championships. we had a great weekend. after a rough start, our kids pulled it together and came away winning the national team championship, again.17 kids in total qualified for the 2 day event and we had 7 that made it to finals. alex fritz placed 2nd and made national team. sam wolff placed 6th just missing national team. audrey hsu placed 4th and made national team. lil sid trinidad placed 2nd and made national team. melina costanza placed 3rd and made national team. victoria cartwright placed third and made national team. drew ruana (who barely sqeaked into finals in tenth place)was the only climber to flash all four finals problems and placed first and made national team.our spirits after qualifiers were a little down as you can tell from the footage of alex, but obviously something came around.very great result. i am very proud.i get so stressed leading up to this event, it makes me hate it, but the minute i get there it all feels better. i do love this.thank you kids, you really make this fun.

Stephanie Carter Joins the Asana Team!!
Oh yeah, Another strong woman on the team! We are always psyched to see potential in our athletes, and with Stephanie this is very true. She has been making an insane amount of progress in the last year and shows promise for continued contributon to the climbing world.
Here's some info about our newest member to the team.
Age- 21
Years climbed- 4
Best climbing experience- This is tough, I’ve had so many great experiences. If I had to choose one though, it would have to be when I sent my first V6. It was just a super mellow day with a bunch of my friends out Eldorado Canyon.
Biggest accomplishments- Just always trying to keep climbing fun. Whether I am climbing inside or outside, climbing easy problems or projecting something hard, I always try to keep a positive attitude.
Favorite style- My favorite style has always been little crimps on slightly overhung walls, but recently I have really enjoyed working on my greatest weakness, which is slopers.
Favorite climbing quote- "...'failure to fail' regularly in climbing is the ultimate failure to realize one's potential."
Favorite Foods- Pop Tarts & Red Bull!
Movies- My favorite non-climbing movies would have to be RocknRolla, Wall-E, and Ashes of American Flags. Between The Trees is my favorite climbing video.
Music- Wilco, Bob Dylan, Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit, Beirut, The Flaming Lips and Radiohead
