Full Lung Capacity Bouldering Benefit


When one of our own goes down, we must all rise up to help. This is something I think we all know, we all preach, and now we will all practice. This is a reminder of a benefit coming up, November 1st, from 6-10pm at Berkeley Ironworks. Rowan Jimenez needs our help for a lung transplant...our help, is the least we can do.

Here is the official info on the event, which is absolutely not one to be missed!

Full Lung Capacity Bouldering Benefit

On November 1st, from 6pm to 10pm, a bouldering competition benefit event will be held at Berkeley Ironworks to help Rowan Jimenez raise funds for a lung transplant. Rowan Jimenez, former Touchstone employee, parent, rock climber, and musician was diagnosed with a rare disease called scleroderma about six years ago. It has attacked his lungs and has progressed to the point that he only has about 10% lung capacity, compared to a healthy person. He is now in line for a lung transplant that will save his life. The competition will bring together the outdoor community at large to celebrate Rowan's life and raise money. There will be a video presentation, food, drinks, acro yoga and a live DJ during the event. Our goal is to raise $10,000 through donations and the competition entry fee, which will be on a sliding scale from $25 to $100 so that people can contribute an amount that is comfortable for them. Please join us for an evening of fun, community, and climbing and help Rowan to Full Lung Capacity!

10 min secret service 1.5p: 30 left, 40 right
press: 16 and 20 kg mostly (right up to 32 kg, left maxing out at 20kg)
p-p: 24 kg
p-j: 24 kg (look alot like p-p)

I think technically the secret service snatch test you can switch hands as often as you want and can put the weight down (still 24 kg, 10 min test). The Russian Girevoy version is the one we did today; weight cannot come down and switch hand once.

Thanks for the clarification. Those Russians are TOUGH!
