Welcome to the Anonymous Climbing Team Blog and ABS Divisionals Update

Greetings readers, and welcome to the Anonymous climbing team blog!

My name is Isaac, and I'm the coach of Team Anonymous, a new youth climbing team based in Los Angeles, CA and comprised of founding members Natalie Josefsberg, Charlie Andrews, and Culin Li. Having wrapped up American Bouldering Series (ABS) Youth Divisional Championships over the weekend of January 12th and 13th at The Bloc in Tucson, AZ, (full results here) and with National Championships coming up in the first weekend of March, this seemed like as appropriate a time as any to start a team blog.

 Below are some videos of the kids at Divisionals at The Bloc.


Natalie Josefsberg on final #2


Culin Li on final problem #2

Charlie Andrews on male Jr final #2

Culin Li sending final #4

Charlie Andrews on final #1 (though mislabeled as #3)

 With Nationals right around the corner, the climbers are training at least three days per week, between individual training sessions, team practice, and weekend excursions to other gyms, like Hangar 18 Riverside, where we'll be heading this Saturday. (We go outside regularly, but we are focusing on plastic until after Nationals.) Although I'm sure I speak for the kids too when I say I look forward to switching gears come rope season in a few weeks.

So that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to follow this blog to keep up to date with what Anonymous climbing team is up to. We'll be updating with member bios and more photos and videos in the near future.
