It's not the Olympics, but it's just as important to local Ogden climber, Austin Hansel, who qualified for the IFSC World Youth Championships in New Caledonia. We've been following Austin for the last couple years and his growth in the sport of bouldering and speed climbing is not just respectful, but darn right crazy inspirational. He's only been climbing 4 years and he's qualified for World's!! Congrat's Austin!

Access to miles of scenic well-kept trails minutes from downtown Ogden takes a team of dedicated individuals to maintain. Weber Pathways is a non-profit organization dedicated to planning, promoting, constructing and protecting Weber County non-motorized trails.
We are committed to the idea that non-motorized network of public pathways significantly contribute to our community’s economic vitality and quality of life. - weberpathways.com
Clinking of glasses and the pitter-patter of late summer rain welcomed this year's annual Weber Pathways Trail Mixer at Snowbasin Resort. Attendees were greeted by Weber State Cheerleaders doing stunts in exchange for raffle tickets, tables of outdoor gear for the live and silent auctions, and live music. The fundraiser sold out raising a significant amount of money to help build and maintain local trails.

Sometimes it pays to listen to the OOA Show live. This week would be one of those weeks. For some unknown reason our podcast recording cut off after the first 10 minutes. A shame too as we were on a roll. We had a great show. So, we included the outline of stories we covered. Catch us LIVE at Slackwater Pizzeria on Fridays from 2:30 - 3:30ish. This coming Friday however, we're broadcasting live from Snowbasin.
Below is the first 10 minutes of Episode 173, Backpacking.

Pepsi brought a new and exciting kind of fun to Historic 25th Street this weekend. I posted my thoughts on my Facebook Page:
"I didn't know there was a Grounds on 25th Street, we should come walk down here more often," - heard someone say while we were playing one of the Nurture the Creative Mind pianos. This is what I like about events like this. To me, the worth doesn't lie in a free concert or swag parade, but rather in giving people a reason to revisit H25, give local biz some love, and realize Ogden really is awesome! Thanks Pepsi!!"
