An appeal to our fans and followers:
There is A LOT happening within the CCA currently; some of the most ambitious projects we have undertaken since the initial purchase of Eagle Bluff in 2014:
- Working with Frenchman’s Bay Conservancy and Northeast Wilderness Trust to maintain climbing access to Fletchers Bluff and Halfmile Pond Bluff
- Large scale trails grant project to add 2+ miles of new machine built trail on the back slopes of Eagle Bluff
- Exploratory campaign to identify new land acquisition targets and copacetic grants to help with funding.
We are a small, 100% volunteer organization, and we really need your help! We have continued to see our membership numbers dwindle, yet use of the Eagle Bluff property is at an all time high.
Some of our accomplishments in recent years:
- Bolt replacement on a mass scale to make your local crags safer
- infrastructure improvements including a new main parking lot, and trail signage
- new trails for mountain biking and hiking
- more regular events for our members, and potential new members
Our organization depends on membership, community involvement through volunteerism and other voluntary donations to continue this increased energy and progress. If you enjoy Eagle Bluff (and safer routes at Parks Pond and other crags in the greater Clifton area), please consider joining the CCA. Your donations (small or large) or new membership (or renewal) is incredibly valuable not only to help cover operating costs, but to show to larger institutional benefactors and state agencies overseeing grant approvals that we are a healthy and growing organization who has supportive and engaged members.
Please consider joining the CCA, and we commit to continuing our stewardship and improvements in the central Maine climbing community.
