Volunteers are needed to help with cleanup activities associated with the Access Fund's annual Adopt-a-Crag Cleanup, this Sunday, Sept. 12, beginning at 9:00 am at Post Falls' (ID) Q'emiln Park. For those not familiar with Post Falls, it's located off I-90 near the eastern Washington border in Idaho--the climbs are on numerous granite single-pitch and smaller crags adjacent to the Spokane River in Q'emiln Park. While there have been Post Falls cleanups in the past, this year's work is much more substantial: The City of Post Falls and Avista are providing at least $5,000--working with the Kootenai Klimber's Coalition--in support of various projects including improving and establishing the trail network in Q'emiln Park, cleaning up fire-prone brush and debris, and adding new anchors and protection for many of the climbs. Your help and presence Sunday will be greatly appreciated: members of the overall Inland NW climbing community will be present, as well as area retailers to give away prizes. Please bring gloves, sturdy work boots, food, water, and your climbing gear. Some tools will be provided, but volunteers are welcome to bring rakes, shovels, even weed trimmers and saws. After working into the afternoon, we will do some climbing: We'll set up climbs for all levels of skill, including beginners for whom instruction and equipment will be provided. This will be the biggest cleanup in the Inland Northwest this year, and we will very much appreciate those climbers and the general public who can help, including those of you from outside the immediate area. Various work projects and activities are already established for which individuals are needed. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to the following: Robert Ordner, 509-443-7049 or btordneratworldnetdotattdotnet Steve Reynolds, 509-466-3004 or sreynoldsaticehousedotnet Thanks everyone!
