We wanted to deliver a giant round of thanks for all of the support at Horse Pens 40. Beautiful weather, a massive turn-out (apprx. 600 climbers and spectators), and unbelievable energy made for a fantastic event.

Hundreds turned-out just to see some of the best climbers on the planet--Chris Sharma, James Litz, Lisa Rands, Wills Young, Jason Kehl, Brian Capps, and last year's "king" Matt Bosley to mention a few. In all, twenty-eight states were represented by competitors from around the country.

With prize donations from the Triple Crown, the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition raised over $1,400 through raffles. The money will go directly toward the purchase of a beautiful sandstone crag in Alabama (Jamestown).

Attached to this e-mail is a list of the winners from each category along with their point total from the competition. Please visit our website at www.triplecrownbouldering.org for new competition photos (coming soon), updates, and information on the grand finale at Little Rock City in just a few short weeks. Also see the "much visited" website of the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition at www.seclimbers.org. Triple Crown information, pictures, interviews (with Lisa Rands, Jim Horton and Chad Wykle) can be found on the homepage of this website.

Special thanks goes to the city of Chattanooga for all of their support at the upcoming competition at Little Rock City. Lisa Watjen of the newly formed Chattanooga Outdoor Initiative has been working hard to support the efforts of The Triple Crown Bouldering Series.

Thanks again for ALL of your support!!
