On May 1, the girls and mentors from Climbing Toward's Confidence's fourth session reached new heights as they took part in the program's regular outdoor climbing day, held this spring at Rumbling Bald. After spending nine weeks learning to climb in the indoor gym, everyone put forth their best effort on the mountain. Cries of joy could be heard throughout the day as girls reached the top of the slab wall, calling out to their belayers about the beautiful sight of Lake Lure in the distance. The girls all displayed great maturity and confidence as they belayed their mentors and encouraged them to reach the top.
Appalachian Mountain Institute generously donated professional guiding services for the event.
