Fwd: Stewardship & Volunteer Alert 🌞🌿🔨 Your favorite crags and boulders need you this summer!

[Chris Simmons]

Hi team,

Just in case you don't get this email from the WCC, there are a number of trail days starting in mid-July. I think the Exit 38 and Index dates should be of most interest to Pro Guiding, but really we should be interested in all of them!

Stewardship projects allow us to take care of the places where we climb. These efforts improve the climbing experience and help maintain access by keeping these areas in good condition and demonstrating to land managers and others that we take initiative. In the last 18 months the WCC has been involved with projects at Gold Bar, Index, Tieton, Exits 32 & 38, Mt. Erie, Darrington, Elwha/Olympic Peninsula, Larrabee State Park, among others. Most of our projects make improvements that last for years or more. You not only get to go climbing but you get to come back, years later, with pride.   Share Tweet Forward Copyright © 2017 Washington Climbers Coalition, All rights reserved.
