Proceeds from the series go to benefit climbers' access. [PRWeb Dec 1, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/marmot/rock_creek_outfitters/prweb481491.htm Mon, 4 Dec 2006 14:09:49 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Marmot announce this week that Beth Rodden and Tommy Caldwell, two of the world's most accomplished rock climbers, will compete at the final event of this year's Triple Crown Bouldering Series. Rodden and Caldwell, a husband-wife duo who are part of Marmot's team of sponsored athletes, have made a name for themselves in the climbing community as a couple, but their individual achievements are equally as impressive. Rodden established the most difficult climb by an American woman on "The Optimist," a 5.14b in Oregon's Smith Rock State Park, and is consistently forging other first female ascents. Caldwell is famous for such feats as his free ascent up the astoundingly difficult, 5.15d Dihedral Wall of El Capitan, considered to be the hardest climb in North America. They are the only couple in the world to have free climbed El Capitan as a team. "We couldn't be more thrilled to have Beth and Tommy at this year's Triple Crown," remarked president and co-owner of Rock/Creek Outfitters, Dawson Wheeler. Rock/Creek Outfitters has been a major sponsor of the Triple Crown since its inception. This year's other primary event sponsors are Marmot and Chaco. Now in its fourth year, The Triple Crown Bouldering Series has grown to be the largest outdoor bouldering series in the world. The three part event kicks off in October at Hound Ears in Boone, NC, then moves on to Horse Pens-40 in Steele, AL, and concludes December 2 at The Stone Fort in Chattanooga, TN. Over 400 climbers competed in each of the first two events, and hundreds of spectators were present. Approximately 425 competitors from more than 30 states are expected at this year's finale at The Stone Fort. "The main goal of the Triple Crown is to raise money for climbers' access," said Chad Wykle, co-organizer of the event. "The series supports the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition and the Carolina Climbers' Coalition, which have both played a key roll in the acquisition of land for the climbing community in a region that is plagued with access issues." In its lifetime, the event has raised over $40,000 towards climbers' access. To further this effort, Rock/Creek Outfitters has partnered with Chaco to offer custom sandals during this year's bouldering series. For every pair of custom Chacos sold, Rock/Creek and Chaco will donate $20 towards to the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition's effort to gain access to a bouldering area in Atlanta, GA. Rodden and Caldwell will present their latest movie, The First Couple of Rock, awarded "Best Climbing Film" at the 2005 Vancouver Mountain Film Festival, Friday, December 1 at Rock/Creek Outfitters in downtown Chattanooga, TN.

Proceeds from custom sandal sales aid in Boat Rock land purchase. [PRWeb Oct 2, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/chaco/rock_climbing/prweb444547.htm Thu, 12 Oct 2006 10:54:38 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Chaco Performance Sandals for purchase during the 2006 Triple Crown Bouldering Series in effort to raise funds to help secure access to one of the prime bouldering areas in the Southeast. A portion of the custom sandal proceeds will be donated to the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition to help gain permanent access to and ownership of Boat Rock, a woodland area inside the metro of Atlanta with more than a half mile of unique egg shaped granite boulders. Boat Rock has long been threatened by development, but with continued effort from the SCC and local citizens, the area is now a community park and green space. Currently, $12,000 remains to be paid on the mortgage, and many are working to make the final payments against the note. In 2005, a similar effort from Chaco, Rock Creek and The Triple Crown raised over $4,000 toward the purchase of Laurel Knob, a 1,200 ft. granite dome in Cashiers Valley located in the Highlands of North Carolina. Once threatened by development, Laurel Knob, renowned as the tallest crag east of the Mississippi River, is now owned by the Carolina Climbers’ Coalition and is open to hiking and rock climbing. Chaco and Rock Creek Outfitters have quietly gone about the business of gaining and maintaining access to outdoor recreation areas for many years. Chaco, with help from regional outdoor retailers, will put close to $20,000 into direct action causes this year in the Southeast alone. For every pair of custom Chacos sold, Rock Creek and Chaco will donate $20 toward the purchase of Boat Rock. The custom Chaco Sandals will be available for purchase through Rock Creek Outfitters’ website, RockCreek.com, and displayed at each venue of the Triple Crown Bouldering Series.

Customers are rewarded with a discount on new Chacos, and donated shoes are delivered to Himalayan communities in need.

The initiative will last two weeks and will be available to the public through Rock/Creek’s physical and online stores. The shoes that are collected will be cleaned up and distributed to those in need in other parts of the world. Chaco launched the Recycle Program in 2005, and with the help of retailers like Rock/Creek Outfitters, has managed to distribute over 1,500 lightly worn pairs of shoes. Chaco Sandals has partnered with the dZi Foundation to deliver the collected footwear to people in high mountain regions of the Himalayas. The foundation promotes the education, health, culture and welfare of indigenous mountain communities in the Himalayan regions of Ladakh, Nepal and Sikkim. After receiving the shoes, Chaco will clean them and send them to the dZi foundation, which in turn will distribute them through schools, monasteries, and safe houses that the organization supports. Chaco’s efforts have also had an impact on communities closer to home. After hurricane Rita ripped through the Gulf Coast region in September 2005, Chaco partnered with a Baton Rouge retailer, collecting over 400 pairs of recycled footwear to distribute to displaced hurricane victims in affected areas of Louisiana. The Chaco Recycled Shoe Program will launch at all Rock/Creek Outfitters locations, including the retailer’s websites, rockcreek.com and climbinggear.com, starting Friday, July 14 and will run through Saturday, July 29. Marvin Webb, owner of Rock/Creek Outfitters, said, "The program is a good fit for Rock/Creek and Chaco, two companies who are both committed to sustainability. Not only are customers’ old shoes diverted from landfills, but they also provide extra miles for people who need them.
