HUGE thank you to Jim and Chad from Triple Crown Bouldering for organizing this event supporting the CCC annually. Over the Hound Ears weekend, our community gathered in conversation and celebration at our annual public meeting, which was well attended and full of great discussion. During our meeting, we honored our 2023 Kayah Gaydish Stewardship award winners Brian Fritz, Kevin Massey, Allison Norman, and Charlie Ritter. Thank you for your stewardship efforts!
