Nice work Toby and Natalia! It’s the heat of the World Cup season – many updates below.
It’s also the season of summer sending, and this week had several new articles from the crags on etiquette, safety, and crowds. New climbers from the gym need to hear these messages.
Two fundraisers are rolling right now, a Climb Malawi Expedition silent auction, and an Access Fund donation match. Grab your credit card and give back!
Finally news about gyms opening, closing, and for sale.
