First day of qualifiers at the southwest divisional climbing championship in Albuquerque is finished and Chauncey, Taya, and Nakoa all did well and advanced to the finals tomorrow. Chauncey crushed it and got first in her category, Taya climbed great and got 3rd, and Nakoa was on two really stiff routes and made it by the skin of his teeth at 9th.

I put up today's pictures in the Albuquerque Div II photo album.
