H-Town Throws Down While James Parker and Mountain High Fire It Up for STEELE
James Parker in action last Thursday. | On Thursday, June 25, 2009, the SCC, Mountain High, James Parker, and Huntsville climbers pulled together to not only raise the idea of community to a new, higher level, but show some love for the pending closing of the Steele contract. With Mountain High Huntsville providing the shelter, James Parker, local climber, provided a slideshow presentation of his view of the world, seen from the lense of his camera. Afterwards, proper homage was paid to the masters of video from ATL with a viewing of their already mega classic "Rhapsody of Steele". "Sharp End" was shown to appropriately polish off the night. $230 was raised for Steele. But enough of that...clicky clicky to read Mr. Parker's thoughts on Steele and climbing conservation. Knowledge will be dropped upon you. |

Between Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th, an amazing $1407 was raised for the Steele purchase. But I'm not going to talk anymore because if you do the clicky clicky, the man, the myth, and the legend, Brooks Walker is going to spray you down with the flow on this. |
