Sweet Rock! But Don't Touch!

If you've been following us, you know that we are working hard to open relations with Denver Mountain Parks concerning their "No Climb" policy.



We are collecting information about the places we need to be fighting for. If you have any information, let us know!

Or get on your hiking boots and scope out some parks. Email us for spots that still need to be checked out!

Denver Mountain Parks

During the last month, a few of us have been compiling information about the climbing potential in the various Denver Mountain Parks. We still have more to do! Let us know if you would like to help out. Also, we would love information on what you want to see open and any historical information about climbing in the various parks.

We are also going to begin talking directly with the parks and we are hopeful about some of the things we are hearing from them! Let us know your thoughts!

Annual Meeting

The Denver Climbers' Coalition will be holding its first annual election and annual membership meeting on Wednesday March 18th, 2009 at 7:00 PM at First Unitarian Society of Denver, 1400 Lafayette in Denver. At this meeting, we will be electing 5 board members plus offices of President, Vice-President, Secretery, and Treasurer. In addition, we will be setting priorities for action for the upcoming year and forming action committees for these priorities.

If you would like to run for office or nominate another member, you must submit your nomination via email to denverclimbers@yahoo.com by Friday, March 13th 2009. The only requirement for running is that a candidate has filled out a membership form , is over the age of 18, and is on our membership roster.

All candidates will have the opportunity to introduce themselves at the meeting, and all voting will take place at the meeting. Members must be present to cast their vote.

We are also in the process of updating our membership list. Please report any changes to your contact information. If you no longer want to be a member, please let me know and I will remove your name. Otherwise, I will assume you still want to be on the list and no action is required.
