We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Six essential qualities that
are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy,
wisdom, charity. - William Menninger
3/26/08 (10:51 p.m.) Reality Climbing, an indoor rock climbing facility on the
border of Peachtree City and Tyrone, sent sixteen climbers to the first of seven
USA Climbing/Sport Climbing Series competitive events on Saturday, February
23.
Rock climbing is a sport of speed, strength, strategy, endurance,
agility, and quick thinking! Ben Watson (pictured), an 8th grader at Rising
Starr Middle School, says, “Climbing is a tough sport that requires both
strength of mind and body.”
First place finishers from Reality included Michael LaCour and Jane Lu. Victoria White, a 3rd grader at Tyrone Elementary, and
Grace Robertson placed second. Third place finishers include MasAnne Fulmer, a
4th grader at Peeples Elementary, Ben Watson, 8th grade at Rising Starr Middle
School, and Michael White. A fourth place finish from Kevin McInturff and sixth
place finishes from Billy Porter, a 3rd grader at Peeples Elementary, Julia
Roberts, a 6th grader at Bennett’s Mill Middle School, and Tyler Jones, a 11th
grader at McIntosh High School left Reality Climbing excited about their first
competition of the season.
USA Climbing competitions are Red Point formats,
which give climbing competitors points for successfully climbing a route to the
top without using or weighting the gear or rope. Julia Roberts (pictured), a
6th grader at Bennett’s Mill Middle School, who is in one of the toughest
categories of climbers this year, stated after the competition, “Climbing is so
much fun! After three years, the one thing I have learned is patience and
persistence do pay off!”
Additional participants included Madison Altman, Betsy McInturff, Hannah Montondo, Sammy Heine, and Andrew Nagy.
