Nature Conservancy Acquisition of Tract in Hickory Nut Gorge Assures Public Access to One of Best Climbing Locations in Southeast United States.

LAKE LURE, NC, Oct. 3, 2007. The Nature Conservancy announced today that it has acquired a key tract of land on Hickory Nut Gorge's biologically-rich Rumbling Bald Mountain that will also provide public access to one of the most important recreational areas in the gorge.

With the lease signed and trail work completed, the Asheboro Boulders opened October 13, 2007. At the most recent CCC Annual Meeting at Hound Ears-14, the bouldering community demonstrated again that it is actively involved in opening and keeping open boulder fields throughout the southeast. To be exact, Jim Horton and the Triple Crown series stepped up in a big way and offered to pay the lease, on behalf of the CCC, each year for the Asheboro Boulders. How perfect that folks participating in an awesome regional comp can do so, knowing that their entry fees are going right back to local access efforts?

The Asheboro Boulderfield is OPEN TO CLIMBING!

Special thanks to: Ben Crotts, the landowner who agreed to lease the land to the CCC, Mike Dean, the tireless CCC warrior who brokered the deal Jim Horton and the Triple Crown, the lease payers
