From the latest SNews issue:
Chaco footwear, in conjunction with Rock Creek Outfitters [RockCreek.com’s parent company] and Alabama Outdoors, will offer one-of-a-kind performance sandals available for purchase at the 2005 Triple Crown Bouldering Series. Proceeds will help the Southeastern Climbers’ Coalition and the Carolina Climbers’ Coalition gain permanent public access to bouldering, climbing and hiking areas in the United States.
Featuring two custom webbing designs not available in stores, Chaco performance sandals will be available for purchase to all participants and attendees of the Triple Crown series at nearly 40 percent off regular retail. A large portion of the proceeds are going to help create a new state park at Rumbling Bald, N.C., known for climbing and bouldering. Upcoming Triple Crown www.triplecrownbouldering.org.
Events are Nov. 5 in Steele, Ala., and Dec. 3 in Chattanooga, Tenn. Chaco, Rock Creek and Alabama Outdoors say they’ll put close to $20,000 into direct action causes in 2006 in the Southeast alone.
