A sign of good trail work is that it blends in with the landscape and ebbs and flows, allowing for water to move while limiting erosion. The trail crew has been hard at work stabilizing climbing access trails at the Gate Buttress in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Please stay on these hardened paths and allow for vegetation to grow back. #protecttheplacesweplay #slca #stewardship #wasatch #climbing thanks to @singletracktrails and our grant partners @utahofficeofoutdoorrecreation @AccessFund @AmericanAlpineclub @rei @singletracktrails @RecreationalTrailsProgram @saltlakecounty @petzl_official
We are so excited to feature our friend, @lilaleatherman (they/them) for this week’s #wasatchcrushwednesday Not only is Lila fun, silly, and smart as a tack (no, smarter), they are thoughtful and brave in how they speak out about issues of queer identity and representation in climbing. ❤️🧡💛💚💜🖤 “My name is Lila Leatherman (they/them), and I’m a nonbinary trans person stoked on science, climbing, and advocacy. I am passionate about bringing baked goods on the trail, exploring the Wasatch on ropes and on foot, and increasing queer representation in outdoor recreation. In the climbing community, I find that people often disengage from issues around identity. I see people’s advocacy start and end with Leave No Trace. I hear people say, “I’ll climb with anyone, I don’t care what their identity is!” I see routes continue to be established with names that are misogynistic, racist, and homophobic. I see few people at the climbing gym who look like me. Climbing is an immense source of pleasure for me (shoutout @adriennemareebrown), but I often find the community frustrating for these reasons. I hope to be a part of— and help build— a climbing community where we all acknowledge the advantages that we have been given, educate ourselves and others about how these advantages manifest in our lives, and actively support people with identities different from our own. Let’s build and learn together.” 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 Photo cred: on rappel = @ladylockoff summit = @kestreloncreosote
