Daniel Woods, who won the recent UBC event at the OR Summer Market, was defeated by Ethan Pringle and Brian Kim of Northern. Alex Johnson took first over Francesca Metcalf and Angie Payne, who tied for second. Mother nature cooperated to the fullest, and the Nor’easter festival, with music, a sponsor village, and a full festival campground onsite, provided a unique venue for the first large-scale, outdoor pro climbing competition on the East Coast since the 1996 X-Games.
