ABS Season 13 Youth Divisionals are fast approaching in January. Beginning this year, we started offering Internships at USAC Divisional Level events, where there is a Level 4 National Chief Route Setter, as the event Chief.

The primary goal of the Internship program is to give more route setters the opportunity to work at the highest level events to gain experience. Route setters must have completed a USAC Level 2 Clinic in order to apply. Those route setters who may not have received an endorsement from a Level 2 Clinic, but would like to demonstrate their experience and gain that endorsement may also apply. If selected and completing a successful Divisional Internship, a Level 2 Endorsement in Youth Bouldering will be applied.

Those ABS Youth Divisionals where there will be Internships offered are at:

Rocks and Ropes (AZ): Chief, Luke Bertelsen luke@rocksandropes.com

Seattle Bouldering Project (WA): Chief, Mike Helt mike@routesetter.com

Gravity Vault (NJ): Chief, Molly Beard mbeard@mad.scientist.com

Stone Summit (GA): Chief, Jeremy Hardin jeremy@sportrock.com

Please download the application here and send directly to the Chief Route Setter at the event you would like to apply to. Deadline for applications is December 31st.
