Local Gym Climbs To Nation’s Best
A local gym was honored by the national rock climbing community as being the best in the nation. Bend Rock Gym received the honor as part of the 2020 USA Climbing Community Awards designed to honor individuals, teams, facilities, and events that stand out in the USA Climbing community each year. According to USA Climbing’s website, hundreds of nominations were received and reviewed by USA Climbing staff, committee members, and volunteers.
“The Community Award winners are members of our local communities and range from youth competitors to seasoned volunteers,” said Bruce Mitchell, President of USA Climbing’s Board of Directors. “In a year where we faced immense challenges and our community had to come up with creative ways to keep climbing, we are grateful for the continued commitment of our members to push the sport forward.”
