Rifle Mountain Park Clean-up This Saturday

A quick heads up to all Rifle climbers out there that this weekend, Saturday, August 21st, is the annual Rifle Mountain Park Clean-up day. This yearly get together is a day to go out and climb, pick up trash and perhaps help out with a few more major projects as well, such as fixing bridges & rebolting routes. There will be volunteers at the entrance from 9-11 handing out trash bags and explaining what’s going on. This year’s work projects include:

• Bench building at a couple of the cliffs
• Fixing the bridge to the Sno Cone Wall
• Fixing the Bauhaus trail.
• Hardware Replacement

If you’d like to help out with any of those, meet at the Feline parking lot from 9:30 to 10:30 to get your marching orders. At the end of the day (6:30pm) is the party at the Community House, just past the top of the canyon on the left. There will be free food, and beer from Avery Brewing, as well as a prize raffle with lots of great schwag. Afterward there will be music, dancing and general socializing until the wee hours. For those who don’t want to drive back home, there is free camping available at the group site.

See you there!
