Trip Description

Hello,

There is a new crag in Coquitlam (Topo linked below) which has started to get a bit mossy and rogue trails have started to appear everywhere. Our goal is to get on ropes and brush the climbs, as well as try and tidy up the trail network to avoid the whole area getting trampled. I will be spending Tuesday September 3rd at the crag working on these issues, and would love to have some extra hands to help out. Feel free to join after work, or earlier if you're available. I will be providing some tools for cleaning, but you will need to bring some things for yourself as well.

Things you need:

  • Rope
  • Harness
  • Gear to ascend and rappel on a rope
  • Helmet
  • Gloves
  • The knowledge to safely move around in vertical terrain

Things that would be helpful if you could bring:

  • Wire brushes for cleaning moss off the routes
  • Trad gear to help redirect lines for some of the more curvaceous routes
  • Electric leaf blower to blow off the routes after they've been brushed
  • A saw to cut away logs which cover the paths

Here is a link to the topo which includes directions to the crag
