Two Four Hell
24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell is the most infamous climbing competition in the world. 24 hours straight of nonstop climbing at a ranch in Arkansas. Kyle and I won entry into the comp through a Black Diamond contest (thanks BD!!) and headed down south to give it a shot! Neither of us had sport climbed in over 3 years, and had never been on sandstone before, so we set a goal of 50 routes each. A full 24 hours after the shotgun start, we had a combined 129 routes, and earned our horseshoes by getting a climb in every hour of the 24! Here is a highlight reel of 24HHH.

Off to the races!
One of the few climbing shots we took. The pace was too fast to stop for pictures!
About 10 hours in. Plenty of climbing to go!
The North 40 area was bumpin at night!
Glow sticks on all draws are a requirement for night climbing
