Mike_G Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Mark your calendars for the 13th annual Smith Rock Spring Thing: Saturday, May 7th . Join your friends and fellow climbers for a day of hard work to make Smith a better place to climb, hike and habitate! We'll spend the morning and early afternoon of May 7th working on restoration, building, and clean-up projects, then party into the night with a taco (and ) feast, slide show, and the classic auction and raffle. Schwag included. Projects include: Go Dog Go Area - build rock ledges and install stair cases similar to 5-gallon bucket area New Testament Slab Area - build rock ledges and install stair cases similar to 5-gallon bucket area Rope-De-Dope Area - fencing and rehab Shipwreck Wall - build trail to new routes at the top of wall Cocaine Gully - terrace, build rock steps and block open areas between Oxygen and Times Up Aggro Gully - the upper section of the gully from Burl Master to the top needs to be better defined Chalk cleanup and bolt camouflage Camp Host Site / Bivy Area - a couple of hundred feet of fence will be removed Invasive Species Management - remove non-native weeds along river Join the community of climbers, hikers and outdoorspeople that recognize how important Smith Rock is to all of us. Last year we had over 150 volunteers do an estimated $28,000 worth of work and raise over $3000 in funds for this year's projects! Show up at 8am, Saturday, May 7th, at the main parking area. Volunteers receive free parking passes, snacks, bottled water, sunscreen, goodies, work gloves, tools and supplies. They are also invited to the free dinner, slide show and auction at 6pm that evening. We'll see you there!
