    Triple Crown 2006 - Final Scores and Writeup

    Triple Crown Bouldering SeriesJanuary 7th dawned cold and perfectly sunny in Chattanooga for the Triple Crown Finale - and amazing conditions unfolded at Little Rock City by mid-day that allowed for one of the best weather days of the season.

    Was it the weather that provided all of the inspired bouldering, or was it some kind of strange "Kharmic" mix of motivated friends that produced "career days" for so many? Who knows-but one thing’s for sure; fantastic scores were the norm, and the day felt more like a massive "session" than a competition.



    There were great stories in several divisions-

    In the Junior category, Bradley Woolf, perennial Triple Crown competitor returned to Little Rock City with two goals in mind-to win the overall in his final year as a Junior competitor, and maybe more importantly, to return for a rematch with the EXTREMELY proud WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction)-a very tall, complex slab in the "Back Nine." Bradley struggled on the problem last year, but mastered the slab with ease at this year’s comp and also went on to claim Little Rock City and the Overall Triple Crown title-Check, Check-goals achieved.

    The big story in Women’s Beginner?--A mistake with a scorecard caused Meg Slaughter to be accidentally bumped into the Intermediate Category-the problem with that? Meg’s score was enough to make her the winner at LRC and second place in the Overall Triple Crown! Sorry Meg!-congrats on the great score and win at LRC! We’ll get a cool prize out to you asap!!

    In the Women’s Advanced category, Anganette Arnold of Cincinnati, Ohio, on an extended road trip to Texas, drove all night to reach Chattanooga for a chance to climb at LRC. You’d think all that road time would have drained her of all her strength, but it was not the case. She came in strong and managed a second place finish behind the unbelievably powerful Kasia Pietras-a great way to end a vacation!

    There was also a great story in the Ancient Hardperson Category. Jason Young, unable to attend the Horse Pens Competition, still managed a second place finish in this category overall-amazing! Not to be outdone--proud new dad, and Little Rock City Master, Jon Woodruff once again returned to absolutely own LRC-turning in a score that would have easily won the Men’s Advanced category.

    In the Women’s Elite, the uber talented Claire Bell and Kate Reese arrived at LRC with Claire holding a slim lead of 450 points. These two turned in fantastic scores, but Kate managed a truly inspired performance, and turned in a scorecard FULL of amazing sends-Dr. Atkinson, Blind Spot, Grimace, Spanky, The Pinch, Cleopatra, CRB, Deception, Right Wing, and Jut Strut-all V7 or harder. She also came unbelievably close to sending the delicate, powerful (and reachy) Psychosomatic V9! Congrats to these two on a series full of impressive sends!

    And finally, the Men’s Elite-this category was home to perhaps the most impressive performance of the entire series. Not since the appearance of Litz has LRC seen such a day as the one turned in by the incredibly humble and powerful, Greg Kottkamp. "I had the best bouldering day of my life," he later said. His nearest competitor, Paul Robinson (who also had a great day) was a distant 1,800+ points behind the 13,325 "SCORCH" card turned in by Kottkamp. Check-out his day-Robbing the Tooth Fairy, The White Face (Scarecrow), The Law, Biggie Shorty, Instinct (sit), Kneed It, Cinderella-Cleopatra Traverse, Psychosomatic, Bedwetters, and I Think I Can-are you kidding!?!?! Congrats Greg!!

    As usual, competitors returned from the boulderfield to the First Tennessee Pavilion completely exhausted and hungry-And once again, The Big Table catered the event, and climbers chowed-down on Tortellini, Garlic Bread, Salad, and later got into some Warsteiner Beer to "complete the feast."

    A short movie to dedicate the SCC’s purchase of Jamestown, an awesome cliff in AL provided the opening to the awards ceremony-BIG THANKS to Brad McLeod and all the climbers who contributed to permanently saving this crag for all climbers to enjoy!

    Craig Dillenback provided the recap to the entire series with another awesome slideshow set to cool tunes. The show included tons of great shots from each competition-- Hound Ears, Horse Pens, and LRC. Big thanks to Craig for making this happen!! It’s been one of the best additions to the series!!!

    As usual Triple Crown gave away FANTASTIC prizes from sponsors and lots of cash-Kate Reese and Paul Robinson-Elite Overall Winners walked away from the series earning a hefty $2,400 and $2,200 respectively!

    Very special thanks goes to all of our sponsors who have supported this event and the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition-Please support these sponsors who tirelessly give back to support our climbing access!!!!!
