Torrent Falls Trail Work Day
The RRGCC is organizing a trail day at Torrent Falls for March 11, 2006 from 10am to 4pm. Show your appreciation to Mark Meyers and his wife Kathy, owners of Torrent Falls, for being very friendly to climbers and allowing the climbing public open access to their property. The plan is to focus on improving the shortcut trail to the 5.10 wall but there is more work to do with enough volunteers. If you plan on volunteering please PM Bob at RRGCC organizers can get an idea of how many people will be there. This event is an official Adopt-a-Crag event and some Access Fund schwag will be available for everyone who participates.
