Rumble 2024 Recap

Rumble 2024 Group Photo

The 9th annual Rumble at the Bald was a great success.  The Carolina Climbers Coalition thanked everyone for their support and shared the following summary.  

Although this is a competition, the central mission of The Rumble is to gather the climbing community in support of climbing conservation, access, and stewardship work throughout the Carolinas. We are so fortunate to have YOU in our community of climber stewards. 

To our presenting sponsor Cultivate Climbing, and all of our event sponsors, thank you for making this event financially possible, and thank you for supplying an EPIC raffle and competitor prize packs.

To our volunteers, thank you for being generous with your time, energy and spirit. You worked hard all weekend and stayed smiling throughout. 

To our competitors, thank you for bringing your best to challenging conditions. We are so impressed with your strength and grace.

Your collective participation in this event raised over $11,000 for the CCC. We will be donating a portion of these proceeds to NC Friends of State Parks for their fantastic work. These funds will be put straight to work protecting and preserving climbing lands in Hickory Nut Gorge and WNC.
