Happy Holidays

Twas The Week Before Christmas

T’was the week before Christmas and all through the gym,

All the staff members were excited especially Ryan.

You see all the climbing holds were hung on the walls with great care

By Old Dean Dean, the route setter, who always puts them there.

And Mike, the teams coach, face twas burnt red,

As visions of waves crashed through his head.

And Maggie in her riding boots, and Will in his cap,

Watched as Pat struggled with Dean Dean’s

Sand trap.

When from the back cave came a large clatter,

Young Wyatt ran from the desk to see what’s the matter.

Banez had blown what would be a flash,

And in frustration landed his fist on the wall with a smash!

Cailee proclaimed “It’s frustrating I know!

But climb like Tobin, amazingly slow!”

When, what to my wandering eye should appear,

A younger climber flashing the route that Banez was near.

With focus and strength, the young climber moved quick.

“So young. So strong. It makes me feel sick.”

You see old climbers like Neilski do nothing but complain.

While young climbers, like the ones on the team, would rather train.

Now Campus, now crunches, now two finger pockets

On slopers, on pinches, if its greasy we’ll chalk it.

To the top of your project, to the top of your wall.

Now send away, send away, send away all!

And these directions they hung, they hung in the air

As Maggie 2 played with the dread in her hair.

“Ive seen the kiddies get stronger, stronger that’s true.

I can do the same and get stronger too!”

So Maggie called Brad and Brad called Katrina

to meet at the gym with their mutual friend Alina.

Who texted Brittany to get a hold of Tate

To get a hold of John Baur who’s generally late.

And all of the climbers meet up at the gym,

all thanks to a boss because if not for him

Their would be no place for climbers and no other way

For me to wish all the climbers a happy holiday!
