Taking On The Triple Crown of Bouldering
Right outside of beautiful Chattanooga is one of the best boulder fields in the entire country. Stone Fort has placed Chattanooga in the national bouldering limelight because of its killer sandstone rocks (not literally killer) and primo lines.
The beautiful sandstone boulder field is packed full of classic splitter lines. (Which is a clean crack with perfectly parallel sides ideal for climbers.)
This Saturday at 8 a.m., Triple Crown Stone Fort will be holding a competition at the Stone Fort boulder fields.
Triple Crown is a series of bouldering events at three of the premier boulder fields in the Southeast. This event is number two in the series. The first event took place at Hound Ears in Boone, NC and the series will wrap up at Horse Pens 40 in Steele, AL on November 19.
What is the Triple Crown? The goal of the Triple Crown is twofold. First and foremost, the mission is to raise funds for two organizations dedicated to maintaining climbers’ access.
Secondly, this unique event will once again provide a tremendous opportunity for vendors to promote the sport of bouldering, which has quickly become the focus of the ever growing climbing community. The event organizer is River Rocks Adventure Sport Games.
