Rock & Rave

DPM was in Atlanta over the weekend for the highly successful Rock & Rave fundraiser held at Stone Summit. With the help of celebrities like Chris Sharma, Kurt Smith and Hans Florine, about $36,000 was raised for the Access Fund, the Southeastern Climbers Coalition and the Carolina Climbers’ Coalition.

Idea for next year: put the ABS Nationals broadcast up during the event and have people bid money on how many times things like “Asana moment” or “she’s got blank for days” or “that climber is brave and humble” are said.
