“This is my first ever outdoor competition...”
We recently caught up with Atlanta local, Ruth, who has been crushing the SCC Float the Boat comp. This is her first outdoor comp, and was largely made possible by the SCC’s equitable access scholarship.
“This is actually my first ever outdoors competition; probably an odd time to do one, but because I got the scholarship I decided to do it. Honestly I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t get the scholarship. I’ve been indoor climbing for a few years now but only started bouldering outdoors when I moved to Atlanta in the summer of 2019. “
We’ll be telling her story over the next couple of weeks right here on KAYA.
