I don’t think Miley Cyrus had this climb in mind when she sang the lyrics “Ain’t about how fast I get there. Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side. It’s the Climb”. Every week Pikes Peak Prep Climbing Club headed by Mr. Thomas Willmann and Mr. Anthony Vorster meets at City Rock engaging in the “routes and problems” or is it the other way around? The challenge and focus required to do a “climb” is tremendous! The adrenaline rush, Wow! Not to mention the acknowledgement of inner strength paired with a partner called self-esteem and fabulous teachers that help you to understand its all well worth it! Colorado has some amazing sites. This week our students were at Shelf Road Recreation Area, outside of Canon City, Colorado. This area is managed by the BLM and is best known for its world-class sport climbing. They’re advertising is right on “It’s more than a great climbing area!”The climbing club is only one of the many clubs that is offered at Pikes Peak Prep. Students meet on a weekly basis to participate in experiences that include yoga, gardening, science, photography, and of course climbing. These clubs are lead be the dedicated staff.
