The Boone Climbers Coalition (BCC) and the CCC have been working with the National Park Service to negotiate placement of two additional anchor stations and a kiosk at Shiprock. We are pleased to be able to announce the negotiations were successful and the new stations have been placed. Here is a message from Park Ranger Eddy Cartaya: It only took a year and a half of head crashing but its finally done. Chris Ulrey and I installed the two new rap anchors at Ship Rock today. . . |

Call for photos for 2009 CCC Calendar |
|
|
|
|
Thursday, 01 May 2008 |
|
A volunteer group of CCC members is taking on the NEW CCC Calendar 2009.
Some of you may remember the stunning calendar put out a few years ago.
The years since then have not really been worthy of another endeavor
but 2009 is!
The CCC Calendar '09 will be a collection of pictures from around the
Carolinas featuring bouldering, sport, trad, ice and aid (do people
still do that?). The theme of the calendar will be First Ascents (Old
School, New School, Middle School, and PFA's (Personal First Ascents)).
We request that photos be previously unpublished (webbased or
otherwise) and that they include a variety of subjects in a variety of
mediums. We would particularly like some shots featuring CCC success
stories like Laurel Knob and "Asheburl."
So get yer cameras out if you haven't yet. Dig through your old
photos. Hire that pro photog to capture your winning moment on your
PFA. And keep yer eyes peeled for more info coming soon!
CCC Calendar Team!
Please contact CCC user JA Boyd with submissions

Table Rock is now OPEN to climbing. Sections of North Carolina Wall are closed: Tightrope through Bumblebee Buttress (Kelley book). The Forest Service was going to post signs along the trail on the way out to NC Wall. The trail is open. Just the climbing routes (named above) and the area directly below those routes are closed. Thank you for your cooperation. |

Linville Gorge Peregrine Update |
|
|
|
|
Monday, 21 April 2008 |

Here is an update on the Linville Gorge Peregrine Closure from Chirs Kelly:
Hello everyone.
I wanted to give you a heads up that a change may be forthcoming with the closure order in the north end of Linville Gorge. The current closure of Table Rock still stands until the change has been made by the USFS. Basically, the peregrine falcons have moved off of Table Rock and down the Gorge to NC Wall. The Table Rock eyrie was vulnerable to terrestrial predators, so they have moved to a location that is safer from predators. The USFS was notified immediately but they are tied up with wildfires at the moment. Unfortunately, this means that Table Rock is still technically closed and NC Wall is open until the closure has been officially changed by the USFS. The falcons are quite vulnerable to disturbance at this time in the nest cycle so I am asking people to please consider voluntarily staying off the main section of NC Wall. Other areas of the Gorge are open for climbing: the Amphitheater, Chimneys, Gold Coast, Hawksbill, and sections of Shortoff. There is a separate pair of falcons nesting at Shortoff (as usual), so that closure still stands and will remain unchanged. I will send an update as soon as the change has been made official by the USFS. Thank you for your cooperation!
