Sgt. 1st Class Brian Bell collapsed on the floor of the climbing gym, catching his breath after scaling the 43-foot wall. “I was trying to race up that one, but my arms said, ‘Oh no,’” Bell said. “That was my seventh climb.” Bell was one of 30 Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, attending an indoor rock climbing physical training session Sept. 1 with Phoenix Multisport, a nonprofit that works with community and military members. Capt. Dave Pevoto, commander of Company K, said the climbing PT session provided Soldiers new to the unit the chance to bond. “This is one thing they like to do,” Pevoto said. “With the transition, they don’t get to interact much so whether they’re climbing or not, at least they’re interacting.” Colorado Springs offers several Pevoto said he hopes indoor climbing opportunities to continue offering the including CityRock and Sport alternate PT workouts Climbing Center.

Phoenix began with the mission to provide recreation activities to community members trying to live a sober life. Organization officials expanded the program to include military specific events, offering free climbing and mountain biking for any servicemember. Sgt. Elbert Louis, 3rd Bn., 29th FA Reg., said this was his fifth time climbing. “The first time I climbed it was so hard,” he said. “I think this would be a good hobby to get into.” Before wrapping up the morning workout, Pevoto thanked Leap for his help. “We definitely want to come back,” Pevoto said.

Soldiers from 4th Engineer Battalion gathered Sunday in Woodland Park, where city officials raised the unit’s colors during a 9/11 remembrance ceremony. “This community has been great to the battalion,” said Lt. Col. Bryan Green, 4th Eng. Bn. commander, highlighting a nearly 20-year partnership with Woodland Park. After the battalion’s reactivation at Fort Carson in October 2006, city officials started flying the unit’s red-and-white flag during its contingency deployments. Green called the gesture at Lions Park a unique privilege. “As people drive by here they’ll remember that we have folks downrange in Afghanistan and Iraq,” said Green, while turned toward the nearby intersection of U.S. Highway 24 and state Route 67. The busy rural roadways weave through thick forests running along the north side of Pikes Peak. Woodland Park, about 20 miles east of Colorado Springs, contains 6,656 residents, of which nearly 1,000 are civilian veterans, according to the latest American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. Almost 100 people from the mountain community had circled Lions Park for a sunrise tribute to the lives lost in the terrorist attacks 10 years ago. Eleven Soldiers from 4th Eng. Bn. have died since 9/11 in overseas contingency operations, said Green. “Right now the 4th Eng. Bn., which is actually the Soldiers and Families from 4th Engineer Battalion join almost 100 people Sunday at a 9/11 remembrance second oldest engineer battalion in America, has over ceremony in Woodland Park. The participants circled Lions Park for a tribute to the lives lost after the terrorist attacks 10 years ago.
