ITCC Overall Results

TREE CLIMBING COMPETITION RESULTS
On May 1-2nd at Look Park, in Florence, MA, 38 New England tree climbers
participated in the 20th Annual New England Tree Climbing Competition.

Judges and climbers were back at Look Park bright and early on Saturday morning at
6:30 AM and the competition kicked off at 7:00!

With 38 climbers (33 men and 5 women), the schedule looked nearly impossible with rain
on everyone's forecast. The event schedule was arduous but rewarding. Preliminary
events were completed by 4:00 PM, Master Challenge competitors were announced, and the
competition reconvened at 4:30 PM with two women and four men competing for the
Masters Challenge prize!

The dedicated group of judges, technicians and volunteers kept the day running smoothly!
What a team of rock stars! Thank you all!
