A HUGE thank you from the ACAYB team to all of the supporters! There is no way we could have pulled this off without the support from the local, national and international climbing community, AND the local ACA community! The parents of the ACA youth are the real heroes here because without their support, none of this money could have been raised!

Sally Borden Climbing Challenge 

3/21/2016

Saturday the ACAYB were at the Sally Border Climbing Challenge celebrating the 15th anniversary of the climbing gym! This event was a scramble format competition, you had three hours to climb and in your top 7 climbs you had to have at least one of: boulder problem, top rope climb, lead climb and mix-climbing climb. It was really fun to watch and all those who attended had a blast- I think some are inspirer even by the mix-climbing now ;)
Chris Neve, manager of the gym, raised all of the product for auction. This was an insanely huge job and massive contribution to the ACAYB, so on behalf of all of us, thank you for your time and efforts here, Chris!!! 
With the support of the climbers and the ACA parents we were easily able to auction off all of the product and made $1338!!!! Totally floored by the support this weekend and looking forward to the next event and the Hanger April 02!

Men's Transcendent Sweater
Warm, compressible and incredibly lightweight, the Transcendent Sweater is built to keep you comfortably insulated when the temperature drops, then stuff away into a corner of your pack when not needed. The sweater's high quality 650 fill power goose down insulation keeps you cozy during cross-country rambles or when you're huddled at camp, yet stows neatly for uphill slogs. For multi-day treks, it packs down so small you'll have a hard time not finding space to bring it along.

What was once an initiative to support local Calgary Youth Climbers, has now be redesigned to reach all ACA (Alberta Climbing Association) Youth!

The ACAYB will be hosting 4 silent auctions during the youth competition season in an effort to raise money for the bursary program. In June, a few lucky youth will be awarded some money for their outstanding performance and stewardship to the climbing community. 

Keep an eye on this page for auction dates, product received and any updates on application procedure etc...

Hope to see you all soon!
