The problems were set by Timy Fairfield in collaboration with Stone Age's head route setter Lance Hadfield. This year included a $3000 cash purse for the top men and women competitors plus a huge prize raffle totaling over $6000 in value. Julian Buatista of Placentia, CA, took the win in the men's open class and Alex Puccio of Boulder, CO, won the women's. Live DJ, after competition party, awards ceremony complete with food, drink, and much merry making completed an action packed day. For more information and results visit: ClimbStoneAge.com
