Congrats to all of them!
In the U.S., UBC and Ne2c put on the annual Nor'easter competition in New Hampshire. Strong climbers flew in from around the country, strong locals showed up and even team Canada appeared. It was quite an exciting show, streamed live via the web, and brought in unpredicted results for the men.
Veteran Alex Johnson stole the show for the women, with Francesca Metcalf and Angela Payne following right behind her. For the men it looked like DW would win as he usually does, with his impressive performance in semi-finals. Finals had an interesting twist and the two rope climbers ended up winning the battle- Ethan Pringle in first and Brian Kim in second, landing Daniel Woods in third.
Congrats to all the competitors!
