TC wrap up

Another years Triple Crown of Bouldering has come and gone.  We pulled together as a community of passionate and motivated individuals three times over the course of October and November to make this event happen.  We left each time feeling fulfilled, humbled, and exhausted.  Reflecting as we drive back to our respective homes, we can all find moments of glory, need for improvement, and the will to do better at the next stop on the Triple Crown of Bouldering.

Personally, and I think I speak for the other sponsors as well, this series is refreshing and fun but still a lot of work.  It is one of few events on my calendar that requires me to be setting up the Evolv, Sterling, Metolius, and Salewa booths at a boulderfield.  This I don't mind doing.  Knowing that I am a stones throw from places that helped grow my passion for climbing keeps me inspired.  Knowing that I am setting up part of vendor alley to make this event the best it can be for the competitors that drive and pay to be here is motivation for my effort.  And finally, bering together with all my friends from all over the southeast in one place, at the same time, for all the same reason is truly special.

With the conclusion of the series I look forward to next year and leave you with a photo re-cap of the series.  Some pics are iphone photos and some taken by Chandler....
