Nat'l Public Lands Day Weekend at Shelf Road: Day #1
RMFI is partnering with the Bureau of Land Management, Royal Gorge Field Office to improve belay platforms at the Mammoth area, Ejection Wall, and Gym Arete, as well as trail tread maintenance at the Gym and New Gym crags. This project will involve plenty of rock moving, a bit of technical rock feature construction, and a lot of fun, strenuous, and rewarding work!
*Times Slots: To ensure group sizes of 10 or less, we will be hosting volunteers at staggered start times. You will be assigned a time slot after you register! The three time slots available are 8 am to 2:30 pm, 8:15 am to 2:45 pm, and 8:30 to 3 pm.*
