SLCA Adopt-a-Crag, Ferguson Canyon

Every year the SLCA organizes an Adopt-a-Crag clean-up. Past events (like the one we did last year in LCC) have really improved our local cliffs. This year, we’ll be working on Ferguson Canyon, one of the gems of Salt Lake – quick approach, great granite and shaded, classic routes. We’ll be removing spray paint, repairing trails and building belay platforms to reduce erosion and improve the overall experience of climbers and hikers in the canyon. A light breakfast, lunch served by Sage’s Cafe and a raffle are also planned.

Register HERE. As an added bonus, the first 50 people to sign up will get day passes from The Front, Momentum AND Rockreation! If you have questions, or want to view more information, please visit our forum.
