Happy Gloriously Sunny Monday!!

The big windows were full of blue sky and sun today!

Though mother nature has been taunting us with this great weather, we will be seeing more snow and cold weather again soon. We're still a whole bunch of red-points away from outdoor season.

If the hankering for rock is more than you can handle, pick up a Pawtuckaway Guide book and go tromping around the woods in NH, identifying problems for spring sends. You can even rent pads from Salt Pump Portsmouth.

YOGA

Emily Barnett has bid adieu, so Monday yoga is off
for the moment. We are currently looking for a
psyched yoga instructor to join the team. Interested instructors please email info@saltpumpclimbing.com.

INTRO 2 LEAD

We've added more Lead Classes to the calendar! We are booked into early April, but there are more Tuesday sessions available now.

Now available on Thursday and Friday mornings too! For those of you with a flexible schedule or who work outside of the 9-5, here is your option.

Gain your lead skills and practice before outdoor season!

SKALA PT

The next session with Skala PT is for Understanding the Pelvic Floor.
It'll be on Wednesday, March 25th 7:30p-8:30p

Join Carla to learn about pelvic floor function and strengthening it. Book your free spot now!

SETTING

Now that GO FEST was a total success (Thank you if you came!) the setters will be back up here to dish up some new top ropes and to turn over the 30 degree wall in the boulders. They had a mega week last week setting, so be sure to give them a high five!

See you soon!

Due to the incoming weather, Salt Pump Scarborough will be closed.

All programs are CANCELLED today for all youth and adult programs.

Preemptive closures with fickle weather are always challenging. Our primary goal is to keep our team safe.

See you tomorrow AM!

One of the remarkable things about climbing is how we can grab a feature hold differently.

Undercling, faux-grip, palm wrap, ham hock…whatever it is, we rely on that sense that we can hold our body tension, make some foot moves and keep going.

When someone asks you how you made the move, you probably have to close your eyes and mime out what you did to remember; so is climbing. We are SO in the moment and focused on feeling balanced and in tension, that some of the details escape us.

May you find yourself so much in the moment that you too aren’t sure what you did…it means you were completely present.

Hope to see you gripping soon…🤠
