Triple Crown feature by Climbing Magazine
Climbing Magazine has a great writeup of the Triple Crown with a photo gallery. Check it out at this page on their Web site.
I think this feature will also be in the next issue of the magazine, so watch your news stands as well.
RockCreek has been a proud sponsor of the Triple Crown since its inception several years ago. For updates on the series, check our Triple Crown page on RockCreek.com.

Update on Triple Crown Fundraising Efforts
2 February 2006
Update on Triple Crown Fundraising Efforts:
In the Fall of 2005, in an unprecedented effort to raise money for direct access, Chaco Sandals “teamed up” with RockCreek.com, Alabama Outdoors, and The Triple Crown Bouldering Series.
Long recognized as a major contributor to environmental causes, Chaco, in conjunction with Rock/Creek Outfitters and Alabama Outdoors provided unique Custom Performance Sandals for competitors to purchase at the 2005 Triple Crown. The sandals were developed using a custom strap and also had the new Stealth Diamond Pattern Sole. Ultimately, over $4,000 was raised through the sale of the Chaco sandals!
Proceeds from the sandal sales were earmarked for donation to Rumbling Bald. However, during the course of the Triple Crown series, negotiations between the Carolina Climbers’ Coalition and the State of North Carolina secured access for the future to this fantastic bouldering/trad climbing area. Rumbling Bald will become a State Park!
With the serious concern that has developed in regard to the CCC’s purchase of Laurel Knob located in Jackson County NC, a decision was made to re-direct the Chaco Sandals donation toward the purchase of this fantastic crag. For a full update on the massive efforts to gain access to this resource, see the CCC homepage. http://www.carolinaclimbers.org/
The Triple Crown and The Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition want to take the opportunity to say a huge thank-you to Chaco. These guys have quietly gone about the business of gaining and maintaining access for outdoor recreation for years. With the help of regional retailers like Rock/Creek Outfitters, Alabama Outdoors, The Great Outdoor Provision Company, and others, Chaco will put close to $20,000 into direct action causes in 2006 here in the Southeast alone. Thanks Chaco for supporting access to the many outdoor resources here in the Southeast and throughout the United States.
