Climbers & coffee

Climbers & Coffee is a free, community event hosted throughout the season in the canyons, made possible by Alpha Coffee. SLCA offers free, locally roasted coffee and a chance to connect with our team about stewardship, access, and climbing in the Wasatch.

When you see us out, stop by for a refill, ask questions, and learn more about how we are working to protect the places we love to climb.

ADOPT A CRAGS

Give back to the places you love to climb right here in your own backyard by joining us for an Adopt-a-Crag. These volunteer stewardship days focus on trail work, erosion control, cleanup, and protecting the natural and cultural resources that make Wasatch climbing so special.

Whether it’s your first time volunteering or you’re a longtime supporter, it’s a great way to connect with the community, get your hands dirty, and help keep climbing areas safe and sustainable for years to come.
