The Front Boise Climbing Club was proud to partner with the Boise Climbers Alliance (BCA), and the Access Fund, for the Adopt-A-Crag event at Swan Falls.

Swan Falls is close to being closed off to recreational activities due to trash, graffiti, and miss-use of the land. Our goal was to show Idaho Power, the BLM, and community that climbers do care and want to protect the environment.

Over 30 people showed up to support and pick up trash! The Access Fund provided the garbage bags and funding to promote this event.

Idaho Power provided two trucks to haul the trash to the Kuna waste dump. We were able to fill both trucks completely. This is a testament to our dedication, and the amount of trash that is left behind by irresponsible people.

Boise State University's Outdoor Program provided hot dogs and veggie burgers for the hungry.

Red Bull provided drinks to get everyone energized and psyched.

I practically ran beside the car all the way home.

Aside from The Front, other sponsors included Asana Climbing, ESH, Nalgene, and Sierra Sage Salve. Everyone walked away with a raffle prize.

The BCA purchased an Asana Climbing "Green" pad for the raffle. This was the first time that the BCA has been able to do this. The BCA is a non-profit organization and relies on donations to hold events like this. Check out their website at www.boiseclimbers.org.

Here is the lucky family who won the crash pad. Thank you to everyone who came out to help and support our climbing community. Please keep checking back for more information on events such as this. Together we can build a voice for the community to hear.
