3 years ago I discovered climbing and was hooked

I taught myself to reach indoor bouldering level V8 (advanced).  

In 2018 I founded McDonogh Climbing Club to share the fun with friends.  Running the club turned out to entail unexpected hassles like liability, transportation and cost (it is not cheap). 

I had to figure out stuff on the fly, like marketing (to get kids interested) accounting (to keep track of the fees and budget), negotiating (with the climbing gym staff about risks and waivers), transportation (to arrange shuttles between school and the gym), and getting people to help out ( with my charm of course. :-) ).  It was all worth it.  We turned quite a few people onto this awesome sport and learned more than just climbing!
