Congratulations to Hayden Klinger, a six-year member of the First Ascent Peoria Elite Team, who earned a 3rd-place finish at the USA Youth Climbing Regionals in Arlington Heights, Chicago! Competing against 27 top youth climbers from six states, Hayden’s performance secured him a place at Divisionals. There, he’ll climb alongside the top 13 athletes from our region against the best from another six-state zone. The top 6 from that round will head to the National Championships in Portland, Oregon.
