With many climbing gyms still closed due to COVID-19, and medical professionals generally in support of people getting outdoors, climbing areas are seeing heavy use and heavy impacts—and many are in dire need of stewardship. But the good news is that climbers across the country are amped to put the time in—we just need to make sure we’re creating a safe environment for our volunteers and communities.
With some careful planning, the Access Fund–Jeep Conservation Teams and several LCOs have been safely hosting Adopt a Crag events by following these guidelines.
For now, let's stay conservative and keep our community and climbing areas safe and healthy. They need our stewardship and volunteerism, but for now we should be thinking safe and small.
