EDITOR’S NOTE
he Northeast con- tinues to amaze me. With summer in full throttle and rock climbing nearing its peak, there’s so much happening in the Northeast climbing scene. Recently, we traveled down to the Big Apple to catch the Unified Bouldering Championship EMS Pro in Central Park. Some of the country’s top climbers threw down in front of thou- sands of fans. The at-
T
mosphere was electric and the event put climbing on the map.
Back up north, we saw Emile Mennin crushing it at Rumney, sending Dave Graham’s Dodge the Lemons (5.13c/d). In the Adirondacks, new routes are being developed left and right, as you’ll read about in Jesse Little- ton’s article on Silver Lake. And, if all that wasn’t enough, Chris Beauchamp recently
threw down on some amazing lines at the Bat Wall in Borneo.
So read this issue, Climberism’s 7th. En- joy it, live it, pass it on to your friends. And when you’re done get out there on some rock and breathe in that beautiful summer air knowing that the Northeast has got plen- ty more to offer.
