CCC Board Members meet with CRSP Officials

Tuesday April 5th, Phil Hoffman, CCC Southern Mountains Rep, Zachary Lesch-Huie CCC VP, Sean Cobourn CCC emeritus, and Anthony Love, CC President, met with District Superintendent Tom Jackson, CRSP Superintendent Adrienne Wallace, NC State Parks wildlife biologist Marshall Ellis, and Natural Heritage Biologist James Padgett at Lake James State Park.

The meeting was very productive and indicated to all present the state’s strong commitment to working with the CCC and the climbing community. Our discussions ranged from questions regarding specific issues to conversations about how to develop a state park that not only is a destination for climbers and other users, but one that supports and bolsters the economy of the surrounding area. The strongest message from the meeting was that the State Parks do support climbing in Chimney Rock State Park and do have a vested interest in helping us to create a future where more climbing exists in the park.
