We are asking that if you are not in the clinics, that you consider other areas to climb on sunday. But we'd rather have you in the clinics they should be pretty awesome this year!!!

I hope Elite Training includes a weight loss clinic.

I thought Trotter was out from an emergency Appendectomy...

as of 9/17 he e-mailed and said he was teaching the class. i'm hoping he didn't go into surgery today.

No, just something I saw from his blog. I suppose he must be recovering well then. Sorry for the false alarm.

There are still a number of open slots for the clinics. Sign up for one while you still can.

i wish i could get in on the mike doyle clinic. i may not climb that hard *yet* but he's got some killer training ideas that hugh's been talking about.

katie's clinic is almost full so if you wanted in on trad you'd better sign up ASAP.

For those of you who might not know, Mike was the Head Coach of the Canadian Junior National Climbing team. Here is a link to his training page - http://www.mikedoyle.ca/climbing/traininglinks.shtml

multipitch only has 2 spots open
warrior's way is down to 2 spots open
climb like a girl has 3 openings

i'm not sure about the rest of them - but if you're thinking about signing up, you may want to do so ASAP before they're closed.

Multipitch is closed.

Warrior's way has 1 spot left.

the rest are filling up quick. and the Leading at your Limit is going to be a kick ass clinic.
