Part 1 of 4: Honey Dill Style Bouldering Competition was held last month. The finals were quite the spectacle, boasting a local legend MC, top notch live sports cast and of course, a showcase of some of the best climbing Winnipeg has to offer!

Lot of feelings about this comp. This was my first full week of setting after having top surgery in December. It's been challenging to take a step back from climbing and setting to let my body heal. I wasn't sure how much I could contribute to the team. Everyone was so encouraging, it was a good reminder that I have value even when I'm not climbing my strongest. So proud of my friend for chiefing her first event, for this crew for choosing to use their gifts to create such an uplifting event, and grateful for spaces like this. Thanks @bouldersgym for letting us put on this event.

It’s hard to put into words how I’m feeling after chiefing my first competition, but I feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and gratitude. After months of planning and a busy week of setting, it all came together yesterday.

I’m beyond thankful for my team. This crew demonstrated the attitudes, openness, and curiosity that we need more of in setting. I hope you all know how valuable you are.

Flight of the Phoenix is about more than the “best climbers.” It’s about creating a space for a community that is often underestimated to feel empowered, and I think we did that.

Thank you @bouldersgym for supporting this comp and for giving us this opportunity!

Wish I could share all the happy moments and all the boulders we set in this post, but you just had to be there 😉 here are some of my favorite moments from finals.

Meet Isabelle! A high level climber, youth climbing coach & route setter @minneapolisboulderingproject. 💪💪

Isabelle came to us after sustaining a shoulder injury from a climbing competition. She's been making great progress in her return to climbing progressions & just recently made her return to competition!

Here's how Isabelle describes her experience to date with PRO:

"My experience at PRO has been nothing but amazing. Unlike other PT’s, I’ve felt pushed & encouraged to take on slightly more difficult strength exercises (with good rest) that are very relevant to my goals & movement I’m hoping to be able to do. It allowed me to progress quickly & feel as though I am actively on my way back to where I was!

I was able to talk to my PT for a while about what I do for work & how this injury has impacted my rock climbing (both my current profession and sport/hobby). Dr. Trent was able to find the exact right exercises each week to push what I was able to do on & off the wall. I was worried that it would take me a long time to get back to work, but after attending PT twice a week for just a few short weeks I was back at it. I was prepared with a long warm up & tools/resources I could use during the day to make my shoulder feel good despite the work load. I also wasn’t scared to try new moves on the wall since I had done similar movement in preparation off the wall at PT.

What would she want someone with a similar injury to know 👇?

""Just stay positive & be consistent. If I had just sat around & rested it I wouldn’t be back where I was, but going to the gym consistently to work on my PT from Dr. Trent allowed me to bounce back quickly. Also, definitely consider checking out PRO therapy. I would go back for any type of injury & trust them to know how to best treat it."

👏👏👏 Thanks Isabelle!!

Vail part 1 will be more about the overall experience and part 2 will be my normal postmortem comp break down.

Wow what a weekend, I dont even really know what to say about it. I am so happy to walk away with the win, thats a good place to start. Things feel like they are coming together.

Its been a long time goal to win a National level competition and I guess I just achieved that goal. Which is a surreal feeling because it feels totally expected and also not real. Vail is always stacked with high level competitors, a great venue and an incredible crowd! This comp was made even more special by the people that I shared it with.

My mom got to see me compete and catch my first adult win. I owe a lot of where I am now to her so it was speacial to have her there to witness it. My close friend Rob came out to shoot his first comp and see my first NACS win which was a very cool moment to share. Basically all my close friends from MN showed up to compete and support which really meant a lot. I am very lucky to have you all in my life and this result is partially owed to you all, so thank you ❤️❤️. Everyone that has been a part of the journey has helped me more than they know and I am forever grateful. No one ever achieves anything big alone and I am incredibly fortunate to have you all apart of my life and journey. I guess this weekend was overall pretty dang perfect, which is a very strange feeling indeed.
