The Conservancy is excited to announce the 2019 Rocky Mountain Climbing Rendezvous. This year, the climbing area stewardship event will focus on trail maintenance for climber access at Lumpy Ridge.

After the stewardship project, we will host an evening event at the Estes Park Mountain Shop. The event will include dinner, refreshments, raffles, and speakers. Speakers are scheduled to be Tommy Caldwell (Estes Park local and professional climber) and Erik Murdock (Policy Director for The Access Fund).
