CTC Leaders Reach New Heights at Looking Glass Rock

On July 2, the CTC Leaders girls climbed at the Nose on Looking Glass Rock. All of the girls climbed higher than ever before, with two of them ascending to 200 feet. On this cool summer day, everyone enjoyed hanging out under the trees, belaying one another, and encouraging fellow participants to push themselves past their perceived limits.

Many thanks to Climbmax Mountain Guides for the day of professionally guided climbing!

Climbing Toward Confidence Seeks Mentors

Climbing Toward Confidence is seeking adult female mentors for our Fall 2010 session. Climbing Toward Confidence is an empowerment program of Our VOICE that pairs 7^th and 8^th grade girls with female mentors in the community. Girls and their mentors learn to rock climb and participate in a range of activities and discussions aimed at raising awareness, improving decision-making skills, and ultimately, reducing the risk of sexual violence among young women in Buncombe County.

For more information or to request a mentor application, please call Anna at 828-252-0562 or email anna@ourvoicenc.org.
