The Triple Crown
The Triple Crown consists of 3 events scheduled 1 month
apart. Hound Ears (Boone, North Carolina),
Horse Pens 40
(Steele, Alabama), and The Stone Fort, formerly known as
Little Rock City (Chattanooga, Tennessee).
Winners
Winners are determined by highest scores. Each problem
has a point value. You can do as many as you want, but
your score is determined by adding the total of your 10
highest valued problems. In the event of a tie, the next
highest problem will be added, and the person with the
highest average will win.
Competition Prizes
Prizes will be awarded for each individual event. These
will go to the top finishers of each category. Grand
prizes will be awarded at the final event to competitors
with the highest cumulative score from all three events.
Door prizes will be awarded at each event. These will be
given out in a number of unique ways. Grand door prizes
will be awarded to competitors who compete in all 3
events. These will be awarded in a number of ways.
Rain Dates
Rain dates are always the day after the scheduled event
date. If the rock is still wet, the event will be
rescheduled for a later date and competitors will be
informed by both this web site and by email.
Special Events
Special events will take place the night before each
event.
Spectators
Due to transportation and overcrowding concerns, all
spectators, parents and guardians must register and pay
the same as a competitor at the The Stone Fort and Hound
Ears events.
FAQs
What if I only want to come to one or two of the events?
No worries! Just register for the individual
competitions that you would like to attend.
If I register for each of the three individual comps, am
I still eligible to compete in/win the series?
Yes! If you know you want to compete in all three comps
it's best to enter the series though-that way you
guarantee a space for yourself at all three competitions
in one shot.
I want to stop being such a lame chach and become a
member of the organizations that support my climbing
access! How do I do this?
Welcome to the real world! Let Triple Crown be the first
to congratulate you on your question! Simply visit the
Southeastern Climbers' Coalition website at
www.seclimbers.org - information on how to become a
valuable member of the climbing community is there. You
can also register at any of the three Triple Crown
competitions.
What are the categories of the competition?
| Male and Female Categories are: |
Unisex Categories: |
Male Novice: V0-V2
Male Intermediate: V3-V5
Male Advanced: V6-V8
Male Open: V9-Vsick |
Female Novice: V0-V2
Female Intermediate: V3-V4
Female Advanced: V5-V6

Junior: 12yrs and under
Ancient Hard Person: 35yrs and up |
Important Note: Choose a category based on whether or
not you could complete two previously unclimbed problems
(in a given day) of that grade. That will likely put you
into the appropriate category.
I'm really lame and I'd like to compete in a category
below my real climbing level so I can win a great prize.
What should I do?
Don't come to this event. Space is limited and we want
only excited climbers who encourage each other. The
judges of the Triple Crown reserve the right to "bump"
competitors into a higher category if their score
reflects they should belong there. Make this event more
fun for everyone and do your best to place yourself into
the appropriate category.
I'm from ******** and I've never climbed in the
Southeast. Is there anything that I should know about
the grades down there? Are they hard, soft or what?!?
Ratings are very subjective. One person's V1 is
another's V6. Suggestions on ratings are welcome but
don't complain about any unfair advantages due to
height, weight, health, or religious beliefs.
