Saturday's rain left us with no guilt at all about traveling to the Mass Coast for an indoor comp at Metro Rock Newburyport. The huge event featured a cash purse that drew some of the strongest climbers living in the Northeast. Some of the pros who showed up included Phil Schall, Ty Landmon and Brian Kim. There were probably close to 200 competitors ranging from 5 yrs old to 45 years old (99% under age 25).
Luke had a good showing, placing 3rd in Advanced. JP and I finished about middle of the pack in Advanced with JP beating me by 5 points. Jess did well also, finishing 2nd in Women's Intermediate. Ben came out but was sick a few days before the comp, so he didn't compete, just encouraged and chatted. Other friends who showed up to compete were Izzy, Michael and Sandra.
Even though it was a 17 hour day, the comp was fun and it was exciting to watch the Pro Finals. They are SO STRONG and left us all aspiring to climb hard as well.
Hopefully one of our many possible climbing destinations will stay dry enough to climb outdoors this Saturday.
