What People Have Been Saying: |

“A loose agenda and thousands of
miles comprise the much sought after,
yet rarely executed road trip. Everyone,
at some point, dreams of doing it. Given
that our inaugural
Send The States trip is that dream
made realized accompanied by
environmental activism, if it makes
someone understand how much help we need
preserving and how hard we're fighting
for our climbing areas, then I'll
declare it a monumental success.”
- Joe Iurato, editor in chief of Urban
Climber Magazine. |

“We’re stoked to support the Send
the States road trip. Our Fortress
philosophy is to Get Wound Up doing the
things that make life fun and a road
trip always embodies this. Experiencing
new places, making new friends and
facing new challenges... grab life by
the neck and shake it out! Now I just
need to work out how to get away from
the email and join the trip?”
- Andy Palmer,
President and Co-Founder Fortress

“It's easy to have dreams, it's not
so easy to play them out. It's great to
see the team making their dream come
true - and best of all we all get to
share it online, in Urban Climber
Magazine and in the movie.”
- Nick Yardley,
Julbo |

“The Access Fund is psyched to be
involved with Send the States.
Not only are they a great group of
people but the concept behind the trip
is outstanding. In today's access ridden
landscape it's important for climbers to
be proactive and really take the lead in
conserving the places they play. I hope
this project underlines the importance
of this to climbers across the country.”
- Robb Shurr, The Access Fund |

“I decided to sponsor Rory, Danielle
and Meghan because what they are doing
is with-in the means of the general
climbing community. It demonstrates that
you do not need to be a 5.14 climber to
tour the country and follow your
passion. All it takes is desire and
passion, which they clearly encompass. I
wish them the best and wish I could hop
in the car with them!”
- Jeff Cunningham,
Marketing Director, Mammut USA |

"I
believe that each one of you are able to
promote environmental awareness in
climbers and encourage them in making
good ethical choices."
- Ted Beblowski,
Leave No Trace State Advocate for New
York State |

"Send
The States brings The Rock Club a
chance to be involved in something that
just make sense. We're a part of the
climbing community and it's in our
interest to support it and video is a
great media to do this. But, as much as
we love climbing and bouldering videos,
they generally have limited appeal to
nonclimbers. Send The States,
the movie, has the potential to engage a
much broader audience on several levels
- not just the climbing but the trip
itself, the interpersonal dynamics and
the challenges. It's also an event and
an adventure. We're excited to follow
Team Send The States and
offer our customers a chance to share
the excitement!"
- Dave Raue, The
Rock Club, New Rochelle |
