2011-01-09T11:12:00.001-08:00

As I am sure many of you are aware the forecast for Monday Jan 10 is bleak. Which means indoor climbing is the way to go. I hope that the roads are safe for travel to Climbmax on Monday for ladies night

HOWEVER...IF the roads are too treacherous I may not be able to make it to climbmax and may have to cancel ladies night :( ...I promise to invest in a 4wd vehicle next time I buy!

SO.... check back here to see an update before making the journey downtown

check the facebook group page (see link to the right) for an update

or....e-mail me at chessyken@yahoo.com

or...feel free to call me if you have my number (which I would rather not post here)

or...call climbmax after 6pm and if there is no answer, that probably means I didn't make it

PLEASE...drive safely and use your judgment about traveling in the inclement weather. I would love to see you all at ladies night tomorrow but not if it compromises safety!

Leave No Trace : Climbing Community Responsibility

2010-03-06T06:10:00.000-08:00

I am very excited about our growing vibrant female community. Over my years in Asheville I have also noticed that the climbing community is growing in general. As more people get comfortable climbing in the gym they are heading outdoors to try their new skills out on the real rock. I think this is great! Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

However we must climb responsibly! As our numbers grow so does our impact on the environment in which we climb. The other day, only a few days after an adopt-a-crag service day I walked down the trail at the central boulders at rumbling bald and saw a diaper of all things in the middle of the trail. I was appalled. I also notice the base of the boulders becoming bear and impacted as well as social trails getting trampled in every which way. Please, if you are going to participate in climbing outdoors, familiarize yourself with Leave No Trace practices and help take care of the environment you are using so that others can appreciate nature as well.

Please take the time to participate in service projects at your local crag, whether that is an adopt-a-crag day, encouraging your buds not to throw their cigarette butts on the ground, or just picking up little bits of trash as you go along. With great privilege comes great responsibility. Climbing is a privilege that we will lose if we do not take care of our climbing areas. Thank you for being a part of a climbing community that has potential to be healthy and sustainable.
