TAKING OVER BURLINGTON VERMONT The Northeast making big moves toward the top of the podium
ON SEPTEMBER 23, The North Face Open Unified Bouldering Championship Final took over Burlington, Vermont’s Waterfront Park. The best athletes from the nation showed up to compete with some of the most rugged North- east competitors in the area. Ultimately, Angie Payne dominated the competition by flashing every problem, pinning down Lizzy Asher for second and Alex Johnson to third. On the men’s side of things Ian Dory came out strong with a flash of problem #1 and problem #2 taking the win and keeping at second place Rob D’Anastasio and Ty Landman in third. The season is over for the rest of this year but with Lizzy Asher and Rob D’Anastasio each placing second and representing the Northeast, it is only a matter of time before one of the regional ath- letes makes it to the top of the podium.
