TALK OF THE TOWN// YOUR LOCAL NEWSWIRE DODGE THE LEMONS
EMILE MENNIN While most the world was reading about the latest up- date on Daniel Woods’ hardest line, carnage was raging at Waimea. For a month and a half all of Rumney, New Hampshire could hear the howls of Emile reverberating off the slick gray schist walls. Working Dodge the Lem- ons (5.13c/d), one of Dave Graham’s test pieces, was no easy task for this Northeast native.

Initially, Emile started working the route with Mr. Jay Knower himself, another Rumney local. Figuring out the opening moves quickly, Emile took on the project even after being intimidated with witnessing a lot of strong climbers fall from the route. Emile can add his name to the list of climbers that have put this climb to bed. Jay Conway puts it nicely on
mountainproject.com, “Climb- ing this route feels like wrestling TWO fat kids!!”

Melissa Godowski is 18 years old, the head climbing coach at Central Rock Gym in Worcester Massachusetts, and she is one of the strongest Northeast climbers we follow. Her passion and dedication to the sport has undeniably brought much of the success she has experi- enced in recent years. She competes on the professional level, and is so strong that you can almost always find her in finals. Godowski was recently invited to the Teva Games in Colorado for the first time, and placed 32nd, “I’m already working on my technique and training for next year,” she told us. Melissa continues to support herself on her climbing quest and has recently started pursuing sponsorship opportunities. Find the complete interview at
