We had a fantastic turnout on the 24th over Memorial Day weekend! A big shoutout to the Access Fund for bringing several of their staff members to assist with the project. With the finish line in sight, every extra set of hands made a meaningful difference.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has come out—past, present, and future—for events like these. It fills our hearts to see the climbing community show up to help protect and preserve the places we all care about so deeply.
