Climbing Teams Compete Against Woodberry and Madeira

Both the boys and girls climbing teams competed in their first top-rope meets of the season against Woodberry Forest and Madeira.
Top-rope climbing is much more physically demanding than bouldering, requiring the climbers to scale 40- to 50- foot walls without falling or taking a break. Each climber scores his/her best two routes finished with the routes scaling from 5.7 up to 5.12 in difficulty.

Coming right off the holiday break, this meet was a tough re-entry for many. The final scores were:
 
Varsity Girls EHS 94 - Madeira 90, JV Girls EHS 76 - Madeira 68
Varsity Boys Woodberry 98 - EHS 91, JV Boys Woodberry 75 - EHS 60
 
Individually, Mei Kuo '19 and Jane Owen '19 had an excellent day with 24 points each off a beautiful, balance-y 5.11c and a 5.11a. They tied for first place in the girls division, second place overall.

Thomas Adkins '20 scored 21 (5.10d and 5.11a) for 2nd place in the boys division and 4th place overall. Kidron Kollin '19 tied for 6th place overall with 19 points. Bobby Hood '19 scored 18 with a large group tied for 8th place. A large group came in 15th place with 17 points: Yoyo Wang '22 for the boys and Arden Faires '19, Barrett Carney '19, Arianna Otoo '21, and Olivia Tucker '19 for the girls. This rounded out the top 20 for the meet.  
 
At 16 points were Bobby Zahorsky '22 and Finn Walker '20. Amir Ludena '22 scored 15. Cindy Xin '21, Cindy Wang '22, and Bridget McAree '21 earned 14. Arabella Dixon '21 and Charles Zheng '22 climbed for 13 points. Debby Lee '21 and Juliet Faris '19 scored 12 points each. Zoe Smith '22 had 11.
