Southeast Climbers - Find a Crag and Adopt It

It's been a hot muggy summer in the southeast and so far so good with hurricanes. But these things don't deter climbers. If you've not been out climbing this summer there is still time for you to tie into a rope, pull out the crash pad and even time for you to give back to the climbing community through a few Adopt-a-Crag days in the month of September.

The Southeastern Climbers Coalition has 3 different Access Fund Adopt-a-Crag events coming up in September. Backcoutry.com has teamed up with the Atlanta Climbing Club to sponsor the Lost Wall crag event on Sept 23. If you can't make it out to that event, here is a list of the September events happening in the Southeast.
