April 13 marked HoWL’s fourth annual Homer Climbing Competition, held at the Bay Club since 2010. The event has traditionally been a fundraiser to support HoWL’s rock climbing programs, and this year, thanks to more sponsors and more climbers than ever before, it was a tremendous success. The HoWL board of directors, our staff and all our climbers would sincerely like to thank all the local businesses that supported this event and the volunteers that made it all happen. Rock on, Homer.
