It’s great to see everyone out in the mountains this time of year!!!

Members are still making all sorts of news…Daniel Woods and Angela Payne at the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show Comp, Asher Shay-Nemirow at Lincoln Lake and RMNP.

But even cooler is the list of DBC member’s adding to climbing media. Mebers like John Gass, Chuck Fryberger, Lee Payne, Kelly McBride, and Matt Lloyd, have been running blogs or more for a while, but we welcome the new player, Ivelin Penchev, with his site at www.lovechclimbing.com

Bonus Media: Lots of member crushing on film over at www.iclimb.com as well!

We’ve decided to support the ADA because so many people are facing a future with this life threatening disease. Diabetes is already effecting an estimated 7.8% of the United States, and according to the CDC, if current trends continue, 1 in 3 Americans will develop diabetes sometime in their lifetime.

We’ve already made great progress in this fight. From insulin to better testing to diet and exercise, we’re moving in the right direction. However, a lot about the disease still defies explanation. Perfectly healthy people are diagnosed every day, and the numbers keep climbing.

For this reason, we would like to ask for your help raising funds for the American Diabetes Association. You have the option of either joining the team and coming to the walk, or simply donating to any of the walkers on our team.

Here is a link to the DBC’s ADA page, set up by Thomas Betterton. There you can sign up or donate.

And here is an article that contains some interesting background info on the fight against diabetes. For more information on the ADA, please visit  diabetes.org.

No, it’s not a new McFlurry from whatever-king. It’s Fact. Denver Bouldering Club members are climbing super hard this summer!

Close on the heals of Angie Payne’s first female ascent of No More Greener Grasses at Mt. Evans, she just flashed the new Lincoln Lake classic Unshackled. Here is a link to a video of John Gass sending the problem earlier this summer.

In addition, Daniel Woods has been upping his game at altitude too, read more here, and here.

Congrats to all of our members putting their training to the test!
