Climbers! Come hang out, make friends, and be good stewards of our crags- even those on the Seward Highway 😉.

Remember, the Seward Highway crags are at risk of destruction when the Safer Seward Highway construction begins. The Climbers Alliance of Southcentral Alaska is advocating to protect these crags as recreational areas, but the more we are seen as climbers taking care of these spaces, the better our chances will be to keep them for future climbing.

So! It’s time to pick up trash, starting at Sunshine Ridge, on Thursday, August 14th. 6:00 PM! Climbers Alliance of Southcentral Alaska provides gloves and bags.

Ladies’ Crag Day is nearly here!

WHEN: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM, Wednesday, July 16

WHERE: Meet at the Sunshine Ridge parking lot on the Seward Highway.

PLEASE: Bring gear to sport climb outside, including a helmet, quickdraws, and a rope if you have it. If you’re new to climbing, just bring what you have! Bring layers for any weather (if the rock is dry, we’ll be climbing!), as well as water and any snacks you may want for yourself.

WHAT to expect: This is an opportunity for lady crushers of all experience levels to get out on some rock, find climbing partners, share knowledge, and have fun! While anyone is welcome to join, we encourage attendance from femmes and climbers who feel underrepresented at crags — this is meant to be a low pressure, high stoke environment!

See you there!

Our Community Bouldering Day in Archangel Valley is coming up! This event is super fun for new and experienced climbers alike. There will be opportunities to find new climbing partners, catch up with fellow community members, spray beta (don’t actually though), and share the stoke for climbing in our beautiful public lands!
Meet at the Archangel Valley outhouse at 11am. If you’re late and don’t see the group, check the message board at the outhouse for updates.
We will be out there no matter the weather, so in addition to climbing shoes, please pack layers. Bring a crash pad if you have one, and .co is going to bring a few as well.

Tonight is the night! We will see you at the Alaska Rock Gym at 6:30 pm where we will be giving away a rope from Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking (AMH), shoes from Butora, and so much more! There will be food available for purchase from El Señor Moose and free beer (and root beer) for participants from Broken Tooth Brewing.

Our fourth annual Spring Fun-raiser is almost here! On Friday, May 9th at 6:30 p.m. we will be at the Alaska Rock Gym with plenty of fun activities, climbing, food, prizes, and beer!

ALL proceeds from this event go towards CASA!

This year, we are specifically fundraising to replace the Archangel Valley outhouse with a composting toilet, similar to the one in Reed Lakes, in collaboration with Alaska State Parks and Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation.

There will be opportunities to win prizes by filling out climbing-BINGO cards, or in the raffle contest- please note that only the first THREE people to win BINGO are guaranteed a prize, so show up early to maximize your chances. ALL participants to win BINGO will be guaranteed an extra raffle ticket. We have an amazing pile of prizes donated from sponsors far and wide.

The event will cost $20, and does not include entry to the rock gym (which can be through membership, a punch card, a day pass, or a guest pass). The rock gym will also be waiving start-up fees for anyone who buys a membership at the event!

Raffle tickets start at $1 and get cheaper the more you buy. There will be free beer for participants of the event aged 21+, as always. There will also be food available for purchase from El Señor Moose, so bring an empty stomach.

Sponsors include (but are not limited to):
Alaska Rock Gym
Broken Tooth Brewing
Kaladi Brothers Coffee
Wild Scoops
Metolius
Access Fund
Butora
Alaskan Dirtbag Co.
Skinny Raven Sports
Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking

Want to support CASA but don't want to play BINGO, or aren't in a financial position to donate? Donate your time! We are in need of a few more volunteers for the Spring Fun-raiser! Please reach out via email ([email protected]) to sign up. Volunteers will get free beer, and one free raffle ticket!

Our spring newsletter is live! Read it here:

Happy Spring! The sun’s out and it’s time to get stoked about rock climbing - you didn't even want to ski this year anyway. Read on for updates on our annual fundraiser, summer events, and volunteer needs.

Come hang out with CASA on Wednesday, January 22nd from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at Onsite Brewing Company! We will be there to discuss summer projects and long term goals, to hear your input and needs as a community, and to talk about our mutual love of rock climbing!
Climbers of all ages are welcome, and Onsite serves non-alcoholic options like kombucha and sparkling water in addition to beer. Meet us upstairs for a fun, casual, and social event to keep the stoke for rock alive amidst this abysmal January weather!
Onsite Brewing Company can be found down the street from the Alaska Rock Gym, at the corner of E 33rd Ave and Denali St. See you there!
