The Eastern Mountain Sports Pro rocks Central Park 2011 from NE2C on Vimeo.

The Unified Bouldering Championships Pro Tour brought the first-ever pro climbing competition to New York's Central Park with the Eastern Mountain Sports Pro on Saturday, June 25th, 2011.

Thousands and thousands of New Yorkers gathered to witness an amazing display of athleticism and drama from the world's best climbers. The crowd collectively held their breath, gasped, screamed and fist pumped the competitors on to their absolute limits. Feeding off the crowd's infectious energy, Vasya Vorotnikov and Angie Payne turned in inspired performances and snagged mens and womens first place victories.

On this day, pro climbing captured the attention of thousands of new fans and even found it's way into one of the world's most acclaimed publications, The New York Times. The sport of climbing was on display for all to see in front of one of the world's largest most influential audiences, New York City, and the result was a resoundingly huge success. Climbing represented itself to be every bit as worthy of delivering the energy, drama, excitement and athleticism expected from a major sporting event.

Two of Northwest's great climbers simultaneously climbing really hard problems. I wish the angle was better. We really need a professional videographer for this comp. The action is too good to not capture this on film and from better angles.

■Daniels Woods at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - Last qualifiers problem

On May 29-30 2009, the New Jersey Rock Gym hosted the Gravity Brawl for another successful event. Daniels Woods was the only one to flash all the qualifier problems. Here is raw footage of the last one (and the hardest).

■Daniel Woods at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - finals #4

Daniel was the only climber to flash all the qualifiers. However, he got shut down on the second finals problem which was sent by 4 other men. Since Daniel was the last to climb (and is know for his sick strength), the hopes were high that he would send the last problem. The previous climbers made it look impossible.
Unfortunately Mr Woods didn't send but he came the closest, using some clever beta. By going to the feature with his left hand, he was able to slap the hold on the right lip. Looks like it could have gone with more time (and more rest).

■Paul Robinson at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - Final #3

Here is raw footage of Paul Robinson on the third problem of the finals. The problem ended up being way easier than the routesetter intended. Every men sent it but most competitors struggled (some sick footage will follow). There no struggling here for Paul, winner of the comp. Hes simply swinging his way up, seemingly weightless.
