Spring 2021 CCA Update: Discover Your Crag!

Spring is soon to arrive and the Clifton Climbers Alliance Board is working on trying to have some meaningful events with Covid still continuing it's swath of grief. So, as the new guidebook still is plodding along and so much has changed since the first book came out, we have decided to have "Discover Your Crag!" events. Not sure were things are at the crag? Can't find old routes let alone new ones? Is this the Mountaineer's Wall or is it back there? Now is the chance to get your questions answered. So, come and bring your climbing friends to..

Saturday April 10 @ 0900 PARKS POND BLUFF

Jim Campbell has worked and climbed this bluff for decades and will show us where things are (old and new). Plan on starting at the left- most section of the climbing area , a.k.a. Maple Wall. Then the "tour" will move along to climbers right. Bear in mind  that parking is very limited so expect to park along the road but well off of it as the trail-head is close to the crest of the hill making sight lines a little sketchy. The trail-head is on the right about 1/2 mile  beyond the campground on Parks Pond. Please follow "social distancing" guidelines.

Saturday May 22 EAGLE BLUFF @0900

Meet at the "Overflow" parking lot (middle one). Which trail used to access the base will be determined by participants interest.

Saturday June 26  "BIG CHICK" @0900

Meet at the Rt. 9 pull-off on the LT. for the hike in. Plan on walking the crag base from Lt to Rt and getting all your bearings.

For those of you who have the old guidebook or a scanned copy, you might want to bring it and a camera along so you can create an improved reference document.

See you there!
