December Film Night at the Rogue Rock Gym!

Southwest Oregon Climbers Coalition
Supporting Stewardship And Access For Climbing In Southwest Oregon
Come join other local climbers for an evening of fellowship and camaraderie at the Rogue Rock Gym. We will be showing four short length feature films in the weight room beginning at 8pm on Wednesday November 29th. This event is free to the community, and we would love to see you there!
Join SWOCC at Emigrant Lake on Saturday, April 10 to learn how to become a good steward of the outdoors as you make the transition to climbing outside.
The event begins at 11am; more details will be emailed to registrants.
This event will cover elements of being a respectful and responsible climber in the outdoors: what to bring (and not to bring), safety on the ground and on the wall, ethics at the crag, Leave No Trace principles, and more.
After the event, climbers are welcome to take advantage of the location and climb at the Emigrant Lake crags.
Registration is free, but limited to 10 participants for this event. Questions can be sent to info@sworegonclimbing.org.

Other news & resources:
SWOCC member Matt Money put in some work to write an Access Fund Climbing Conservation grant application for 2020 &mdash: and we need you to vote on it! (BTW – thanks, Matt!)
This grant would go towards the installation of a vault toilet at the Honeycombs crag outside of Roseburg, OR. The Honeycombs contain over 50 routes, including several multipitch adventures. It was purchased in 2019 by Forest Edge Investments to maintain it as an accessible climbing and recreation site.
As the crag’s popularity has grown, so has the need for facilities. This grant would help – along with in-kind donations from FEI – to get a toilet installed to handle the current and future traffic from climbers. As we all know, disposing of human waste responsibly is really important out in nature, so this makes things a lot easier at the Honeycombs.
