Portland Area Climbers Coalition completed an Adopt a Crag at Lewis and Clark State Park.
With nearly 40 people on site, we cut back vegetation along the whole crag, regraded parts of the trail, made a belay platform, installed multiple rock steps, cleared a large fallen tree and rebuilt that section of trail, decommissioned a rouge trail, hardened a muddy section of trail with a rock garden and more.
Thanks to Bailey Beltramo from Portland Rock Gym for the great photos of the climbing community giving back!
