Climbers That Care- Dates

[RRO]

Another season coming to an end in the Red, well, at least thats what we tell all the people from other parts of the country...Time to decide whether to fatten up at the family Thanksgiving feast or eat tuna from a can with friends in the dirty South... Its the perfect time to start planning the deep Winter trip and finally hit Hueco...Or maybe its time to hit the plastic and get freaky strong for next Springs routes...Or maybe its time to drop climbing for the season and hit the powder...

When you list it out like that most of our lifes choices seem pretty tame compared to a lot of those in the local areas around the Red. Instead of choosing how to waste their day away they are trying to figure out how to put a hot meal on the table and clothes on their children backs.

This is your chance to give back to the families of the areas that you play in. Please bring your canned goods, hats, jackets, boots or whatever could make someones winter a little more comfortable. Last year we had a full truckload of supplies donated and hope to repeat that this year. All the food and clothing is donated to the food bank ran by the Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Campton. If cash is your only option be assured that 100% will be used to buy food/clothing for the drive.

This year we are going on a gym tour and plan to hit as many gyms as possible. Right now we have EKU, Bluegrass Bouldering, Hoosier Heights, Rocksport and Rockquest committed. If you have a gym or would like to suggest one to host please get in touch with us. Stay tuned for a final list of dates.

Festivities will include free admittance to the gym, a one of a kind slide show featuring many of the areas talented photographers, including some old school favorites, music at some of the events as well as pot luck dinners(depending on location we will have adult refreshments available).

Gyms:
Bluegrass Bouldering- November 19th
Rockquest _ November 22nd
Rocksport- December 8th
Hoosier Heights- December 11th
Eastern Kentucky University - December 12th

Many thanks and if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch with us.

Approximate start times?

[RRO]

At Bluegrass Bouldering doors will open for the event around 6:30 and the slide show will start around 8:00 with climbing before and after the show. The other locations will probably be close to the same. Hope to see everyone enjoying at least one of the events.

Im kind of partial to the show but its pretty damn cool to see so many talented artist at one time and the area through so many eyes.

Big thanks to everyone who came out last night! We brought in a ton of clothes and food and a couple of hundred dollars in cash. Matt kicked ass with the slide show. It was great fun for all, even Dusty.

Thank for putting the show together, Matt. You made the photographers look great and you are making the climbing community look even better.
