ReBolting the Mother Lode

[Andrew]

Hey Lurk and RRGCC folks,

How about applying for this?

Not to take away from all the folks contributing, but if not for the lode, maybe for Roadside, etc.?

In case you forgot, roadside is closed.

I didn't forget. Why does that matter? This is a way to apply for funds for crag sustainability. I'm sure Grant might be able to use these funds for the Preserve, as would any other areas in the RRG.

The American Alpine Club's Cornerstone Conservation Grant funds essential infrastructure at climbing areas. Individuals or communities that see a need for local infrastructure can propose projects that will improve, conserve, and protect their climbing resources for years to come.

This year, $25,000 in grants will go toward local projects that can include but are not limited to: fixed anchor improvement, new trails, human waste management solutions, parking, and signage. Funds also may be used in part for training on techniques for local crag conservation and sustainability as part of the infrastructure project. Applicants may be individual climbers on behalf of a local climbing organization, regional club, or public agency, an AAC Section or climbing group, or not-for-profit (501 (C)(3)) organization. Grants range from $1,000 to $15,000, depending on the size and scope of project.

It was a joke, bro.

Now that is funny.

I would say apply for it on behalf of the lode or toilets at sore heel, or the lode, not roadside. Roadside is privately owned, and as such, access can be cut off without notice.

No way Vert, climber-land owners would never do that!!!
