Climbers, Judges, Volunteers, Family and Friends – CTCC 2015
The CT Tree Climbing Competition took place on Saturday, May 2 2015, at Ballantine Park in Southbury. It was a fun and exciting event, with a good turnout to cheer on the 21 climbers. The five preliminary events got the crowd going, as the climbers worked their way through the five trees selected for the competition. The top 4 climbers based on their scores in the preliminary events were then selected to participate in the Masters Challenge. The Master’s Challenge itself turned out to be one of the more competitive and exciting on record, with the top two climbers, Matt Reynolds and Kyle Donaldson, battling down to the wire. In the end, it came down to which climber was successfully able to pull his gear out of the tree.
