Get in the Groove: delayed due to weather
Wednesday, 20 February 2008

Our most sincere apologies, but, due to weather concerns, we have decided to delay the Get in the Groove weekend until March 8-9th.
We are excited about this opportunity, but want to have drier conditions on the cliff so folks can enjoy all that Laurel has to offer.

Please join us Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9th as we once again prepare to Get in the Groove!

The NC-ROCK Community Organizes the Trad-athlon 2008 Fund-raiser for the Access Fund

A fund-raising benefit for The Access Fund, Trad-athlon 2008, will be hosted by the Triangle Rock Club in Morrisville, NC, on March 29, 2008.

Two-person teams will compete against the clock in four individual and team events . These events will address the essential traditional (trad) climbing skills of rappel setting and descent, ascending ropes using friction knots, escaping a belay, and trad lead protection setting and rope management. Competition sponsors of the Trad-athlon 2008 are The Great Outdoor Provision Company, Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School, REI, and SMC. Additional support has been provided by Townsend Bertram & Co. and Integrated Massage Solutions.

Other fun activities will include slack lining, Tyrolean traverse, silent auction of climbing gear and apparel, and door prizes. The Rail Readers, a hard driving blue grass band out of Carrboro, will be performing live throughout the evening.

While the competition will be challenging the evening's emphasis will be on fun for all, competitors and spectators alike. Join in as a competitor, have a ball, and win some prizes. If you're not competing there's still plenty of fun in store for all - cheer on the competitors, try a Tyrolean traverse, slackline, win a door prize or two, take home terrific booty from the silent auction and enjoy great blue grass music.

There will be no admission charge for spectators.

Directions to the Triangle Rock Club are available at www.trianglerockclub.com.

Entry Fee:
Team (includes all four events for both team members) - $40.00
