- Purchase materials such as graffiti removal products, gloves, masks, clippers, rakes, equipment, etc. to make our Adopt-a-Crags successful
- Protect climbing access by working with land managers to maintain and procure climbing access
- Educate the local climbing community about Leave No Trace and responsible crag stewardship practices

Open Volunteer Positions
Crag Stewards
Crag Stewards oversee the planning and execution of an Adopt-a-Crag at his/her designated crag. These events help take care of our local climbing areas, as well as maintain our relationship with the land managers to ensure access. The scope and size of these events vary from crag to crag. Planning involves coordinating with the relevant land manager, potential team leads, and possibly any other organizations that may be involved.
Outreach Ambassador
Outreach Ambassadors facilitate outreach with the climbing community and partners. They collaborate with the Outreach Director to host various community outreach events, which may include tabling at gyms or special events hosted by partner organizations. Some events are community-focused (e.g. gym events, tabling events, REEL ROCK, etc.), while others are stewardship-focused (e.g. Adopt-a-Crag events organized by Stewardship Director and Crag Stewards)
