Durango X Rock clean up

The Durango XRock clean up was awesome!

XRock is the oldest established climbing area within Durango. Josh and his Kling Mountain Guide group did an awesome job putting all of the logistics together creating wonderful new and improved trails, replacing old anchors and adding new ones. Not only did folks dig, move rocks and establish new trails, everyone gave a hand in picking up trash as well. The strangest thing they had found was a rotting skunk carcase. Yes, they cleaned it up and got it the heck out of there, thank god, it stank something fierce.

Backcountry Experience, Pine Needle Mountaineering, Gardeswartz Outdoors, Ska Brewing, Durango Parks and Recreation, San Juan College, Evolv, Metolius, Trails 2000, Leave No Trace, Access Fund, and Outdoor Pursuits were all supporters in the first annual crag clean up. All the supporters gave out great stuff to all the participants for their hard work and efforts. Ska Brewery had a great after party with lots of great beer and brats for all that were involved.
