WHAT DOES CAMP STAND FOR?

I got this from the most recent CAMP-USA news letter, sign up for it at www.camp-usa.com

The name CAMP is an acronym that stands for, ‘Construzione Articoli Montagna Premana,' best translated as, ‘Articles for Mountaineering Made in Premana.' Some climbers know this. Most do not. We were interested in putting the climbing community's imagination to the test by letting them recreate the acronym based on their perceptions of the company, the sport and the lifestyle. From more than 1,500 entries, we are excited to announce the winning entry and top ten finishers as voted on by Rockclimbing.com registered users:

1st Place: Crags Are My Playgrounds
2nd Place: Caviar At Meatloaf Prices
3rd Place: Caught Above My Protection
