A Rockin’ Competition Boulder Bash 2022 Set
ititz recROC coordinator Corey Pickel described the upcoming Boulder Bash indoor climbing competition as a combination of problem solving and an athletic event. “We get more than 40 problems up there (on the climbing wall) for the event,” explained Pickel. A problem is the configuration that helps a climber move from the floor to the top of climbing wall using specific hand and foot holds. “So, for example, on the wall here there’s a green one with two pieces of tape that shows where your hand placement should be for the beginning of the problem,” pointed out Pickel, who noted that climbers will need to work with a specific color to reach the top. “Each problem has a point system attached, but competitors don’t know what that is,” Pickel explained, adding that the number of attempts to complete the problem is tracked and points are added up to determine the winners.

setter Doc Beverly works with a team to create fresh problems. The competition, which will be held at the recROC, 201 Rock Lititz Blvd., Suite 10, Lititz, on Saturday, Sept. 10, will feature advanced, intermediate, and beginner contests. Registration on the day of the event will open at 9 a.m. Pickel said that the competition usually begins at 9:30 a.m. and that each competitive group takes about an hour to complete its climbs. About 75 competitors took part in the 2021 event. “We have had a great turnout the last few years,” said Pickel, who noted that some climbers travel a distance to take part but that many competitors are local. Male and female winners are named in each category. Prizes for winners have included tension boards climbers can use to train at home and crash pads for outdoor climbing. “People tend to appreciate (equipment) more, and (those prizes) entice some of the stronger climbers to come participate,” said Pickel.

Lori Breece, manager with United Disabilities Services (UDS) service dogs, especially likes coming to work on Wednesdays because that is when Quincy, a UDS ambassador dog, spends the day with her. “(Quincy) is the best dog,” said Breece. “This morning, I dropped a paper towel, and he picked it up and gave it to me.” Quincy was trained to be a full-service dog, but health issues kept him from that role.
Asked what she would like audiences to feel after hearing her eponymous quartet, Robin Work replied, “I think I would like people to leave with a lighter heart and a smile on their faces having experienced an hour of good classic music with a message of hope.” Work will bring the Robin Work Quartet to the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz, to perform an outdoor concert on Thursday, Aug. 25, at 6:30 p.m. The band’s repertoire will include songs
