Spring 2013 Climbing Competition

The SoCO CRAG / Pueblo YMCA Community Climbing Competition held March 3, 2013 at the Pueblo YMCA climbing wall was a success. Thanks to SoCO CRAGers Jason Wilson, and James Lopez along with the CSU-P Climbing Club and the YMCA climbing staff for the great routes they set. Also, thanks to all the raffle prize sponsors: The Edge: Ski, Paddle, and Pack; Chipotle, Wendy’s, and the Access Fund. 15 youth and adults cranked stiff boulder and toprope routes for three hours. Prize ribbons were then awarded to the top three finishers in the youth and adult divisions. A good time was had by all. See you at the competition this autumn.

2012 Adopt-a-Crag

SoCO CRAG’s third annual Adopt-a-Crag  was held  Sunday, October 21, 2012 .  A group of dedicated Wet Mountain climbers from Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Canon City met at 9:30 Sunday morning. They quickly moved to clearing and brushing the trail to the Sub -C Wall and the C Wall. This was the most TLC these trails had seen since there creation a decade ago.  A delicious lunch was provided by Taste of Philly.  Nelson was presented with a new 70 meter rope as token of appreciation for all his route development in the area. Volunteer T-shirts and trail snacks were provided by Chipopachui and the Access Fund.   The afternoon concluded with climbing at the Sub-C Wall on a gorgeous October day. A great time was had by all.
