Here is an update. Lots of pics.

Let me know if any of you want to purchase a shirt. It is the one on the Facebook link. I will have them available next week. For MetalMark climbers, it is the same fabric the gym uses on their shirts. High quality with a little stretch. Cost to make is $8. I am hoping to get a min. donation of $12 plus shipping (a few bucks). To buy a harness, belay device and carabiner for one student is around $50 (hint, hint).

I am a former student at Mclane High And Mr.Haskins had done an amazing job with taking us to the gym and helping get everything set up for us, we been there for at least a couple of weeks,and we a great time with learning how to climb, do safty procedures, and learning to trust our partners. Thanks to all the people that supported us. This couldn't have happened without you guys.

While driving 3 students to Fresno State, the students noticed Metalmark and were interested in learning more about it. We had a brief tour and went on our way. A week later I became the sponsor of our school's rock climbing club. We had a club, but no dinero to climb. Metalmark donated free day passes for our students to climb during winter break. Two members of the club donated their time to teach and belay our students. The students were so excited about climbing, they started working out together to prepare for their next climb. It's been almost a month....and daily I am asked, "When are we going to climb again?"
Metalmark recommended that I get in touch with McLane's climbing club. Today I shared the exciting news with my students. McLane has generously shared some of their Metalmark membership with us, and we can climb until the end of the school year.
What an AWESOME opportunity for our students. We don't have a sports program at our school. Juniors and Seniors do not have PE. And according to one of our students, "We're getting FAT!!! and bored."
Thank you McLane and all the people who helped make this happen for our students. Your kindess is greatly appreciated.

I have made a funraising website but this is just part of it. I'll try to figure out what other things we could do like go around pick up trash or car washes or cleaning up graffiti
