Triple Crown Bouldering Series

SPONSORS

Making the Triple Crown Possible
Without our amazing sponsors the Triple Crown Series would simply be impossible. Please always consider these fine companies as you climb in the Southeastern United States. By supporting the Triple Crown, these sponsors are directly supporting the work of the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition and the Carolina Climbers Coalition in their efforts to gain and maintain access to the many climbing areas throughout the Southeast.

From financial support, to use of facilities, to event promotion, to thousands of donated hours of work -- these guys have done it ALL! Triple Crown would have never existed without this sponsor. Oh yeah…every time you hike a trail, every time you approach a cliff, every time you are on a trail run, every time you pitch a tent in and around Chattanooga, know that Rock/Creek has supported your activity. Rock/Creek gives thousands of dollars toward outdoor recreation every year. THANK YOU ROCK/CREEK!
	Chaco - True blue (or is it green?). This is one of the most environmentally conscious companies on the planet, and we are proud to have them as a sponsor again in 2008.
