Week 25 Feb 10-14, 2024

Thanks to our Wall climbing coaches and all our Bearcat climbers who took part in the Y,W,F (Young, Wild & Free) climbing series. Well done to all those who took part and full results will be made available this week. 

From Coach Jeremy...Almost 40 participants from all over Metro Manila joined the competition last Saturday to kick off the Young Wild and Free Climbing Series. The YWF will have a monthly competition not only in Metro Manila but will reach Iloilo and Davao all the way to September for a total of 8 competitions that our bearcat climbers are looking forward to. Special mention to Jay Michael B for being the only competitor to finish all 18 problems prepared by the route setters. Compliments to the rest of the team see overall placing results below. Top rope climbing will be the next climbing discipline that our climbers would need to prepare for as March 15 is the next leg at Power Up Alabang.  Congratulations everyone!
