Great time at the Clean-Up

On Saturday, Lindsey and I spent the day at Brownwood with the Outdoor Club and Rock Addiction Folks working at the Crag Clean-Up. I'm really impressed with the leaders from both organizations who care so much for preserving the places we frequent to pursue our outdoor passions.

The Rock Addiction team has been working at Brownwood for some time, dedicating at least one Saturday every two months to cleaning trash and clearing trails, top-outs and landings. They have really been at the forefront of keeping climbing access healthy at Brownwood. I hope to work and climb with them more.

Similarly, the outdoor club at ACU has been involved in several service projects in the West Texas area, and this was their second time to spend a day at Brownwood. Their contributions were obvious: one entirely new wall, previously covered with cactus, was opened to new problems, as well as huge progress on clearing the top outs of a great moderate bouldering area towards the left end of the bluff line.



After the work was finished for the day, we spent some time climbing with a motivated crew. Nick, Matt, Colter, and Andrew all made significant progress on Burlfest on their first attempts. The story was the same on Scott's problem.

Here's the cheering section at Scott's Problem:

Thanks again to all the volunteers who spent their Saturday, working to preserve a place that I enjoy so much. Hope to climb again with all of you soon.
