When you're not sharing 'action shots' in foreign lands, you're probably getting and staying fit at a local gym.  Throughout the years, Gabe and Maria have been frequent gym rats at many of the Touchstone Climbing gyms across northern California.

The commuity is fantastic and we've built many friendships while wrestling with the plastic holds.  Today, you will find us at the first installment of the TRS4 competition series at Great Western Power, Co. in Oakland CA.

The nice folks at Touchstone Climb have given the community the heads up that Skimble will be there in action and giving away some Skimble schwag including muscle and racerback tank tops - how sweet is that?

If you just want to come out and support your climbing friends, it'll be a fun time with free food and beer (when you're done climbing!).  At the end of the night, they usually come up with a few 'creative' contests and give away prizes.  During Maria's first ever TBS(3) competition, she bouldered a chair and won a free chalk bag!

Good luck to all and, remember, it's all about having fun and achieving your personal bests!  Follow Touchstone Climb for the latest updates about new routes at all of their gyms.
