The Mountaineers are partnering with the Washington Climbers Coalition, the Access Fund and the American Alpine Club on trail improvement projects at Index Town Wall July 28th and 29th. We need bodies to help with this. The end result will be safer and easier access to a few of the more heavily trafficked routes, yea! Volunteering will meet the trail maintenance requirements if you are enrolled in a class that requires this. If nothing else, it’s good karma and good exposure of the Mountaineers giving back. All volunteers should wear a sturdy pair of boots (no tennis shoes!), long pants and work gloves. It's recommended that you bring a long-sleeve shirt too. In addition, bring rain gear, water and your lunch and snacks. If you have a helmet, bring it. More details on where and when to meet will be sent to those registered by monday 7/23. I just don’t have them handy right now … but plan on a morning start with enough time to grab coffee and a BBQ hosted by the WCC Sunday afternoon. Yes, this will be fun!
