24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell 2012!!

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell 2012!!!

This year was an awesome year at 24HHH. Nate and his partner set a new record of routes climbed in 24 hours. They climbed 310 routes, that's 13,370 feet of vertical sandstone.
Sarah and her partner scooped up the number 2 and 3 spots for the Advanced Female Division, with 161 routes climbed and 7,220 feet.

It rained this year which was a huge struggle but all of the climbers overcame the difficulties and continued to climb in the rain, still breaking records even with terrible weather. This year had the most talented climbers yet with over 40 climbers completing 100 or more personal routes in 24 hours.
