In an effort to draw awareness and support for our community's environmental conservation efforts, The New Campus Climbing Gym, together with Team Alpamayo-Climbing for Conservation, is holding a Climb-A-Thon on May 26th. Money raised at this event will go to fund local conservation programs coordinated by the Conservation Resource Alliance (CRA), a local non-profit organization.
The Climb-A-Thon will start at 12 noon on Saturday May 26th, and will go until midnight. During this event, New Campus’s 30 foot climbing wall will serve as the yard stick for participants who will log "feet climbed" and compare their height to summits of various high points throughout the world! Climbers will be encouraged and supported in their efforts by members of Team Alpamayo, other participants, and the
New Campus Climbing Gym volunteers who will be on hand to assist in this exciting event!
Funds raised for the Conservation Resource Alliance and their ongoing projects will be tracked through the Climbing for Conservation after the event. Also log into the Web site to find out more information about Team Alpamayo and other Climbing for Conservation events.
Participants of the Climb-A-Thon will receive a free Conservation Resource Alliance T-shirt and CRA membership. All equipment will be supplied by the
New Campus Climbing Gym.
