Ian Dory....

Ian took 2nd place last night at the U.B.C.'s Salt Lake Pro event, beating out top athletes Carlo Traversi, Jon Glassberg, and most notably Chris Sharma. He was topped by Daniel Woods, arguably the most powerful and skilled climber on the planet. Everyone who made finals, male and female alike, should be proud of their strong efforts as the climbing was hard and technical and the route-setting unique. Of course, most of my attention was on Ian's awesome performance last night. Words can't describe how proud I am to have witnessed first hand this milestone in his climbing career. Thanks to James for helping me get so close to the action. Media to come.....
