This will give everyone a chance to look at the competition map, AND it will speed up the “process” on Saturday morning (more climbing time!). We’ll also have extra tees for sale for $15.

Once Again, Marmot is the Presenting Sponsor for the 2008 Triple Crown!
Drop by the Marmot booth to pick up a raffle ticket for some FANTASTIC custom Marmot/Triple Crown gear! Proceeds from the raffle tickets will benefit the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition! Marmot was one of the founding sponsors of the Triple Crown! Without their ongoing support, this event would not be possible. Come by the booth, score a chance at a great prize and let these guys know how much you appreciate their support of the Triple Crown and your climbing access!

Once again, in a major effort to help raise funds for direct-action causes, Chaco has “teamed up” with Rock/Creek Outfitters, and The Triple Crown Bouldering Series. See below for details:

Long recognized as major contributors to environmental/outdoor causes, Chaco, in conjunction with Rock/Creek Outfitters will provide unique Custom Performance Sandals for competitors to purchase at the 2008 Triple Crown Bouldering Series. In 2005, 2006, and 2007similar efforts from Chaco, Rock/Creek and the Triple Crown raised over $20,000 toward the purchase of Laurel Knob— a 1,200 ft granite dome in Cashiers Valley located in the Highlands of North Carolina; Boat Rock—a beautiful greenspace and boulderfield located inside the metro of Atlanta and many other direct action causes. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the 2008 Custom Chaco sandals will go toward helping the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition in their ongoing effort to gain and maintain access to southeastern climbing areas.

As soon as the custom 2008 Triple Crown Sandals become available, we will let you know!!

Triple Crown and the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition want to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to Chaco and Rock/Creek Outfitters. These guys have quietly gone about the business of gaining and maintaining access to outdoor recreation areas for years. Chaco, with help from regional outdoor retailers, will once again, place over $20,000 into direct action causes in 2008 here in the Southeast alone; special thanks to Chaco for supporting access to the many outdoor resources here in the southeast and throughout the United States.
