Adopt A Crag Details:

CASA's November 24 Adopt a Crag:
​Crags Against Humanity Pilot Project Kickoff
Help CASA launch our new groundbreaking initiative to upgrade the trails and landings at the Crags Against Humanity climbing area to improve access and prevent erosion.

When:  Sunday, November 24  |  8:00am — 1:30pm

Where:  Crags Against Humanity, Santa Catalina Highway

Why:
This is the first climbing infrastructure project on the Coronado National Forest since its inception in 1908—over a century!

For the past 10 years, CASA has worked closely with the Forest Service to build strong relations and allow projects such as this to proceed.

This project helps legitimize climbing on Forest Lands. It also paves the way for the Forest Service to directly support climbing and climbing access through improvements to trail, access routes, and landings.

What to Bring:

• Gloves (CASA will have some available if you do not)
• Safety glasses or sunglasses (CASA will have some available if you do not)
• Hardhat or climbing helmet (CASA will have some available if you do not)
• Boots or closed toed shoes
• Long pants
• Sun protection
• Lunch
• 3 liters of water (minimum)

Safety:
Please note that dogs are not permitted on the project site.

Volunteers age 10-17 are welcome with a signed release. Please be mindful that the worksites will often be near the highway, moving vehicles, and steep drops.

Thank you so much for volunteering!

​Erosion Control and Mountain Cleanup opportunities!

​CASA's April 7 Adopt a Crag: Windy Point and Mountain Cleanup
​When:  this event took place on Sunday, April 7

Why: Windy Point is the epicenter of climbing on Mt Lemmon. Heavily used by climbers, tourists and others, it benefits from regular cleaning and erosion stabilization. Through our adoption of this area, CASA has committed to steward and protect these resources from user impact.

We had several volunteers choose between cleaning up litter, as well as performing erosion control (building check steps and stabilizing loose banks).
