Today is a good day to get an ARCC membership! To join the largest group of climbing advocates in the state! (or just pick up some trash next time you’re out climbing, and test yourself by trying to recite the LNT principals)

Get your ARCC membership at the link in our bio!

This festival wouldn’t happen without all of our amazing hosts!

We have industry professionals providing their expertise in so many clinics and workshops.

Lend them your ears, get hands on and practical, and ask questions because they love to teach.

Link to sign up is in our bio! We can also send an invoice for clinics if you want to add them on but have already purchased your tickets. Just shoot us a DM!

Heads up! Controlled burn at Rattlesnake Ridge taking place on 3/20. If you’re planning to climb at Rattlesnake Ridge this weekend, be flexible and have a backup crag.

We will be conducting a controlled burn on the main ridge area of Rattlesnake Ridge Natural Area. For everyone’s safety, both trailhead access points will be closed on Friday, March 20 (at minimum).

We hope to have the area re-opened for weekend use, but please understand that this will depend on post‑burn conditions. We appreciate your patience, and look forward to you visiting the Natural Area afterward and seeing these landscape restoration efforts in action!
