Buy a Perma-Draw for a Chance to WIN a Rope

On behalf of Mammut, Dean Lords will donate a 9.5mm x 70m rope to be raffled off during the Dierkes Clean & Crank Boulderfest 3. The raffle money will go toward replacing fixed anchors at the Caves.

"I wholeheartedly support local climbing communities working together to maintain and replace fixed hardware at their local crags. While safety is the number one reason to do this, I also believe the big picture is providing an avenue for community to band together, with one collective voice, to maintain hardware, educate, secure access, and play an active roll in preserving climbing now and into the future." -Dean Lords

TIckets will cost $10 a piece the day of the event, October 12th.

What is your local crag worth to you?

The Access Fund has put together a video talking about the historic Jailhouse crag in California.  Access Fund helps climbers with access issues and consults with legal advise, they help climbers fight to keep their home town crags open.  Access Fund is why we have Castle Rocks back open to climbing.  They are currently helping us with the access issue over Massacre Rocks.  There is even an access issue locally within Twin Falls.

Chuck Odette has been developing a crag that is similar to Jailhouse not only by looks, but also with access issues.  This crag could potentially house Idaho's hardest lines giving Twin Falls locals a place to push themselves into a new arena of climbing.  However, as development continued with this wall Chuck found out that the crag was situated on privately owned property.  The land owner is hesitant to give open access to climbers so we all need to tread lightly.

We all need to support the Access Fund so that they have the means to support us.  If we don't give then we can not receive.
