Come join the Access Fund and Jefferson County Open Space for a day of trail improvements throughout the climbing areas at North Table Mountain in Golden, CO. We're excited to partner together on this shared resource and look forward to a great day out!

Climbing at the Golden Cliffs of N. Table Mountain has been a popular activity for years. With its short approach, friendly beginner climbing options, winter warmth and proximity to heavily populated areas the trails, parking areas and climb staging areas continue to see deteriorating conditions. Access Fund and Jefferson County Open Space are hoping to pull together a great group of volunteers from the surrounding area, who make regular trips to N. Table Mountain and are invested in seeing improvements to the area. We have a great list of projects we're hoping to accomplish, including: trail-tread improvements, social trail closures, improvements to both access gullies and a variety of smaller opportunities.

Volunteers will meet at the Access Fund Trailhead at the end of Peery Pkwy in Golden, CO (please keep in mind this is a residential area) at 8am. Once volunteers arrive, we'll ensure everyone is registered and then separate into a variety of working groups at 8:30am, with trail leaders from the Access Fund Conservation Team and Jefferson County Open Space staff. There's no shortage of work at the site, so don't worry about being bored...we can keep everyone busy! Tools, supplies and snacks will be provided; we simply encourage volunteers to wear closed toe shoes, long pants and bring a pair of gloves. Work will wrap up around 2pm.

Volunteers must register at jeffco.us/openspace/openspa… where they can also fill out necessary liability forms (forms will also be available on-site)

Please indicate Adopt-a-Crag under the group name

Hope to see you there!

Bump, to say to be sure if you are signing up for this event that you write "Adopt-a-Crag" in the group name field. This is important since we have two events going on at this park on September 15.

Maybe you should just do one for the UAC instead, Mike

Thanks for coordinating this Mike! While it's not my favorite crag it certainly needs a lot of love. See you there!

UAC does host better climbing IMO:)

Definitely appreciate your help Monty, and I concur with your thoughts. Not my first choice for a day out, but it does need some love. Given how slammed the cliffs gets in the fall, winter, and spring it will be a shame if we can't muster a large turnout.
