This beginning weekend (Friday and Saturday) will be start of the qualifiers and finals of the 2011 UBC The North Face Pro Tour. After a successful event in New York City, The UBC Pro Tour is gaining recognition fast. UBC recently announced (on their Facebook) that they will be broadcasting the entire event live at UBC.com and RockandIce.com this Saturday.
It is said that climbers like Paul Robinson, Dave Graham, Ty
Landman, Ethan Pringle, Alex Johnson and Angie Payne will be present at the Burlington and Lake Champlain outdoors competition.
The finale will take place on the center stage of the 2011 Nor'easter Sports/Music Festival. Tickets are sold out last time I checked (don't quote me on that because I'm not certain), so the only real way to assist the event is by the watching the Live Stream. Here's a quick look at the competition schedule planned for this weekend :
Friday 9/23
- Qualifiers: 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Saturday 9/24
- Semi-finals: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
- Finals: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM
The blog ClimbingNarc will be covering the 2 day event :
[...] I will actually be in Burlington to cover the event and will have live blogs going throughout the day on both Friday and Saturday. I’ll be doing my best to bring you words and pictures throughout the weekend about not only the comp but also the music festival and whatever else I come across in Burlington, so be sure to check back early and often.
Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more info !
