Good afternoon!
Thank you all for your participation in this spring's Vertical Challenge!
Attached is the points plot.
It was a fantastic spring for Ledyard. With a good snowpack, plentiful rain,
and some unseasonably warm days, there was plenty of water to play with. The
DMC still fought through and found some dry (or mostly dry) climbs. Things
were a bit soggy for the mountain bikers, but they took advantage of those
few sunny days by sending out an armada of bikers and pedaling until the sun
went down. Although based on the plot it may appear that CnT's performance
has been lackluster, I'm sure their adventurous spirits have lured them out
into the woods. Perhaps if we included diners...
Individual awards go out to:
Nick Gottlieb, for not being a student. And also for getting the most points
for both Ledyard and CnT. Nick was also the only participant to complete a
triple day. On top of this, Nick scored more points by himself than the DMC,
CnT, or the MBC.
Diana Wendt and Zeb Engberg, for climbing, and climbing, and climbing.

144 people*trips were blitzed in. The highest scoring individual trip goes
to Nick Gottlieb, Chelsea Liddell, Greg Sokol, and Chris Zentner for their
adventure to the North Fork of the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River.
The most unique trip goes to Ben Hughey for the pole climbing event.

In celebration of the end of this event come to Ledyard at 8 tonight for
the:
HORIZONTAL CHALLENGE
Also known as the
