WHAT IS THE TRIPLE CROWN?
The goal of the Triple Crown is twofold. First and
foremost, the mission is to raise funds for two
organizations dedicated to maintaining climbers' access:
the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition and The Carolina
Climbers' Coalition. These two organizations have been
instrumental in the acquisition of land for the climbing
community, in a region that is riddled with access
issues. Secondly, this unique event will once again
provide a tremendous opportunity for vendors to promote
the sport of bouldering, which has quickly become the
focus of the ever growing climbing community.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? Triple Crown is a series of
bouldering events at three of the premier boulderfields
in the Southeast. The series kicks off in the fall
beginning with Hound Ears in Boone, NC, moves on to
Horse Pens-40 in Steele, AL, and then concludes at the
Stone Fort in Chattanooga, TN. The dates for each event
are set for October 2 -- Hound Ears, November 6 -- Horse
Pens 40, and December 4 -- the Stone Fort.
You can register for the event as a series or for any of
the individual comps. See the registration page for
detailed information. Register as early as possible,
space is limited and this event fills up FAST! |
