First things first, none of this would have been even remotely possible without Matt and Ames. They continue to physically support this community and the RRGCC as much as anyone and more than most everyone. They are the new Red River Gorge.

Morgain, Bentley, Bob, Eric Cox (ran all the electric and got it inspected week prior), Burton and Dave and all those kids (got full on pro rig from sound to stage and set it all up, then took it down). These are the people that really deserve special recognition.

Then behind the scenes for weeks prior was the rest of the BOD and regular offenders (Blake, Paul, Yasi, and Rick especially).

Then the game time volunteers, shuttle drivers, registration tables, cleanup crew, food service, the Paradox kids all weekend and everyone that spent 2 hours here and there when you got a break. So many people to thank I can't even come close. It's amazing around here how everyone is just happy to jump in a help!

And of course, there is always Miguel and crew. There would be no Red River Gorge community if it weren't for Miguel and Susan.

And a special thanks to everyone who helps all year. The kids that write guidebooks, build trails, give us checks, loan us tools and opens their land, clean routes, bolt lines, make beer runs, take photos, everything that makes the Red the very special place that cannot be found anywhere else. It is pretty remarkable when you compare it to other scenes.

Thanks everyone who made this whole thing possible-- it was one of the most fun, exciting, and memorable events I've ever witnessed.

Just to keep the props rolling, thank you so much to the many who drove the shuttles for hours on end: Dana, Erynn, Moya, Gitta, Schrader, and any others who haven't been mentioned yet. You all rule.

Also, thanks to the weather for kicking some serious ass.

It was truly amazing. I can't imagine topping it, but I can imagine trying to.

Bentley and Morgain, WOW !! Many thanks to both of you. You all got the ball rolling, pulled no punches on getting the sponsorship, athletes, press and much more. I have been involved in quite a few large events, climbing and non climbing and I have never seen as many people pull together to accomplish something like this. So many people were involved and the event could not have done as well without all of them. We all should feel blessed to be apart of something so large. Lets continue to ride on the waves of success and use this energy and steam we have right now to prepare for next few years.
