How it began

      Ever since we can remember, our friend Dalan Faulkner has been telling us that instead of being "Team Southern Rock" we should be called "The Dirty South Climbers". Then at ABS 13 Youth National Championships we made his idea come to life with the creation of the first Dirty South Climbers tanks. It started as a core group of six climbers including Dalan Faulkner, Elizabeth Tamez, Delaney MIller, Canon Huse, Shane Puccio, and Addison Kim. We came together in order to have a small tightnit group to train with and motivate each other. Our goals as the Dirty South are to primarily have fun, get stronger and make the climbing community a better place. Members of the Dirty South have competed many times at national and world class climbing competitions in both youth and adult categories. This month we will be inviting one new members to the Dirty South group, Tiffany Murphy. Also, the Dirty South will be competeing in the Heartland regional climbing comp.
