Team ABC sets new standards for kids

Robyn Raboutou-Erbesfield who won the World Cup between 92-95 and then stopped competing is spending Thanksgiving in Hueco Tanks together with 14 new standard setting kids from her Team ABC. Here are some of the groups amazing sends and there are much more. Margo Hayes (13) has done 8A and flashed 7C+, Megan Mascarenas (14) has flashed 8A, Austin Lankford (14) has done Fred Nicole's classic testpiece Dirty Martini on the rocks 8A and Brooke Raboutou (10) has done 8A and 7C+. "Brooke worked this problem one day last year and sent it yesterday within 30 minutes. She rehearsed the top out, took a couple of tries to get the start and sent! It's nice to see that kind of progress. Honestly, these kids amaze me everyday. They are strong both inside and outside and everyday I just say WOW!"
