On Monday, Sam Harper and Sara Burgess, who both live in Lebanon, spent the afternoon alternating between working in The Notch climbing gym’s work area and “playing” on the climbing walls.
Both said they have so far enjoyed the climbing and the facility, which sits on LaBombard Road near Dartmouth Coach and held a rope-cutting opening ceremony Friday.
“It’s a major upgrade from what the Upper Valley used to have,” Burgess said, referring to the now-closed Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center in Quechee. [VNews]
