BOULDER CLIMBING NEWS & EVENTS
BCC Action Alert - Our National Parks Need Your Help!
**Action Alert** Our National Parks need your help!
The mission of the Boulder Climbing Community is to care for the places that we climb, so we are stepping up our game during the government shutdown to provide resources to care for our national parks and lands.
As climbers, it is critical to use all Leave No Trace practice and our wag bag program is integral to that mission.
In lieu of the government shutdown, the BCC will be organizing a volunteer day this Sunday, 1/20 to distribute wag bags and restock existing bag stations in Rocky Mountain National Park at 4 different locations. We will be meeting at the Justice Center at Canyon & 6th Ave. to carpool up to Estes at 9 AM.
If you're interested in volunteering, please check out all the details and sign up here: http://bcc1.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/…
If you can't make it on Sunday, don't fear! We've set up wag bag distribution centers at Neptune Mountaineering and Rock and Resole. Please stop by, pick up a couple bags and distribute them to friends.
Since many bathrooms are closed it is critical to carry a wag bag and use it on all public lands, so whether you are going into Rocky Mountain National Park or the Indian Peaks Wilderness, please grab a bag and help spread the word!
Special thanks to our partner Restop Bags for the additional donation of supplies during this crucial time.
