The 411 on the ITCC at the MORTON ARBORETUM
The International Tree Climbing Competition was an intense event. The torrential
downpours flooded many of the areas of the Morton Arboretum leaving access to
the trees very difficult. Though not unlike Providence, the ITCC Committee
scrambled to change the events and the structure of the competition to squeeze
40 men and 15 women competitors through all preliminary events, a
head-to-head footlock challenge and a Master's Challenge all on Sunday; a truly
outstanding feat was accomplished! The overall winners were Mark Chisholm, NJ
and Josephine Hedger, UK.
Our New England Team, Moris Duarte & Marcy Gladdys had a strong showing.
Moris placed 35th overall and Marcy placed 10th.

With 36 climbers (32 men and 6 women), the schedule looked nearly impossible
with rain and thundershowers on everyone's forecast. The preliminary events
were completed by 4:00 PM, Master Challenge competitors were announced, and
the competition reconvened at 4:30 PM with three women and four men
competing for the grand prize of Chapter Champions and a sponsored trip to
compete at the ITCC on July 24-25, 2010 at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.
The dedicated group of judges, technicians and volunteers kept the day running
efficiently and smoothly even with a half hour down pour after the start of the
Master's Challenge. Thank you to everyone!
