In 2025, the CCC will celebrate our 30th anniversary with a series of access celebrations on the climbing lands we manage. Join us for these celebrations of access, conservation and community!
Join us on March 22nd for a special celebration of access, conservation, and community at Rumbling Bald! We'll celebrate the CCC's partnership with Chimney Rock State Park while enjoying Rumbling Bald's climbing. Due to systemic impacts of Hurricane Helene, the CCC's Rumble Climbing Competition is postponed until 2026, but this Access Celebration will give us the opportunity to gather and celebrate the Bald at Hickory Nut Gorge heals from Helene.
The day will feature:
A talk about the history of climbing access at Rumbling Bald by 40 year Bald climbing veteran, Jeep Gaskin
A talk about the formation of the State Park and preservation of climbing access by former Lake Lure mayor Jim Proctor and Ranger Robert Townsend
Guide book release and talk on climbing access conservation by CCC's Executive Director, Mike Reardon
A ground tour of the climbing area by climbers who know the area well.
Community climbing, where attendees will break into groups to climb together and enjoy the day. Please note that CCC will NOT BE ORGANIZING CLIMBING ACTIVITIES! All climbing is on your own and at your own risk.
Guided climbing by Fox Mountain Guides will be available for those who choose this registration option!
