Last week, community members came together at Ranger Rock in Tijeras to challenge themselves, support one another and experience the outdoors from a new perspective! 🧗
Whether it was their first time climbing or they were returning to the wall, participants pushed past comfort zones, built confidence and celebrated every step of the journey. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this a great experience! 💚
