A few months back we did an article in our newsletter about Quincy Conway, a ten year old boy who was raising money to attend a national climbing competition. At that time Santa Fe Climbing Center had only a few climbers attending competitions.
Today the team has grown to more than a dozen members. Many of these climbers started in after school or summer programs at the center. All of these young people are learning lifelong skills that include leadership, problem solving, focus, survival, safety, and team building. Once they head outdoors, they combine everything they have learned in the gym and add it to a healthy dose of respect and appreciation for themselves, each other, and the environment.
