John: INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING,
IT'S FUN, A LITTLE BIT
CHALLENGING.
THE ARCH PROJECT CLIMBING CENTER
HAS BEEN THE PLACE FOR LOCALS TO
LEARN FOR TWO YEARS NOW.
Tannya: IT'S CELEBRATING
WITH AN EVENT FOR THE CLIMBING
COMMUNITY THIS WEEKEND.
♪
Tannya: ANYONE WHO WATCHES
"LIVING808" KNOWS WE LOVE TO GET
OUT AND TRY THE LATEST FITNESS
CRAZE.
ANYTHING NEW AND EXCITING AND
INVOLVING ACTIVITY.
WE FOUND A GREAT ACTIVITY AT
WAIPAHU.
THE ARCH PROJECT CLIMBING
CENTER.
WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT
THEIR BIG ANNIVERSARY AND HOW
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED.
A GOOD SPORT FOR YOUR WHOLE
FAMILY.
THANKS FOR HAVING US.
A GREAT PLACE TO COME OUT AND
CLIMB.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
Tannya: TELL ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HOW YOU GET STARTED.
AS FAR AS CLIMBING FOR ME,
I'VE BEEN CLIMBING FOR OVER TEN
YEARS NOW.
WE STARTED BECAUSE MY PARTNER
AND I FOUND AND STARTED A
NONPROFIT THAT INVOLVED THE
CLIMB, COMMUNITY TO BRING
AWARENESS AND ENCOURAGE IT IN
THE COMMUNITY.
AND CLIMBING GYM WE DECIDED TO
OPEN A YEAR AFTER TO SUPPLEMENT
OUR NONPROFIT.
Tannya: CONGRATULATIONS.
THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN A BIG
PART.
TELL ME ABOUT A COUPLE EVENTS
YOU HAVE COMING UP.
OUR TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY IS
GOING TO BE ON THE LAST SUNDAY
OF THIS MONTH, WHICH IS JULY 28.
USUALLY WE THROW A BIG PARTY.
ANYBODY IS INVITED.
WHETHER YOU'RE A MEMBER OR
NONMEMBER.
WE RUN A SMALL COMPETITION
THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR KIDS AND
OUR ADULTS.
AND PIZZA AND DRINKS ARE ON
HOUSE.
Tannya: WE'RE SEEING MORE
CLIMBING BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
BE A OLYMPIC SPORT IN 2020.
THERE'S BEEN A FEW MOVIES ON THE
BIG SCREEN.
DO YOU HAVE NEW COMERS?
SING THE DAWN WALL AND "FREE
SOLO," PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POPPING
IN INQUIRING ABOUT THE SPORT AND
WANTELING TO
WANTING TO TRY IT OUT.
IT'S SOMETHING TO DABBLE IN AND
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF CLIMBING.
Tannya: I'VE DABBLED ON IT.
MY KIDS WERE ON A CLIMBING TEAM.
IT CAN BE ADDICTING.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT TO
SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT
IT'S ABOUT.
THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO THE
SPORT, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK
IT'S ALL UPPER BODY.
I HAVE TO BE STRONG.
I BARELY COULD DO A PULL-UP WHEN
I STARTED.
NOW I CAN DO ONE OR TWO MAYBE.
I'M KIDDING.
MOST PEOPLE HAVE THAT
UNDERSTANDING OF ROPES, GEAR,
EQUIPMENT.
OUR FACILITY IS SPECIFICALLY A
BOULDERING GYM.
PRIMARILY JUST A PADDED
FLOORING.
I'M A FAN OF BOULDERING.
IF YOU'RE IN HERE DURING OUR
OPERATING HOURS, PEOPLE ARE
HANGING OUT.
YOU MIGHT BE CLIMBING IN BETWEEN
CONVERSATION.
IT'S A GREAT SOCIAL SPORT.
IT'S GREAT TO START WHEN
YOU'RE YOUNG.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF CAMP AND
ACTIVITIES.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
WE OFFER THREE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH.
WE HAVE OUR ACADEMY.
THAT'S A MONTH LONG.
TWO TIMES A WEEK.
13.
MOST ARE ON THE YOUNGER SIDE.
ASIDE FROM THE ACADEMY, WE HAVE
OUR CAMPS DURING SCHOOL BREAKS.
IT'S A WEEK LONG AND WE
INCORPORATE EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS.
ALONG WITH A SMALL CPR CLASS.
THEY DON'T GET CERTIFIED BUT
WE HAVE AN INTOMOLOGIST THAT
VISITS SO THEY LEARN ABOUT BUGS.
AND OUR KIDS TEAM IS NEW.
THERE'S NOT BEEN MUCH KIDS IN
OUR GYM UNTIL RECENTLY.
THE GOAL IS TO GET THEM ON A
COMPETITIVE LEVEL WHERE WE CAN
GET THEM TO COMPETE NATIONALLY.
WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND ON THAT
Tannya: COME OUT.
TRY IT OUT.
IT IS A GREAT WORKOUT.
ARCH PROJECT CLIMBING CENTER IS
A GREAT PLACE.
WE'LL POST ALL THE DETAILS HOW
