Celebrating 16 years of Safe Bolts, Sustainable Trails, Clean and Sustainable Crags, and COMMUNITY!
The BCC is all about caring for our Front Range crags. We are committed to uniting the local community and our partners to preserve the environments we, as climbers, impact, enhancing the outdoor experience for everyone. We wholeheartedly believe that with your support, we can reach extraordinary milestones.
We replace 700-1000 bolts and anchors each year
We strive to build 4-5 sustainable trails a year
We stock thousands of wag bags at crags and local gyms each year to mitigate human waste
We monitor eagles/raptors in Boulder Canyon and Rocky Mountain National Park so climbers can climb and wildlife can thrive
We are a presence of good stewardship in meetings with land managers and the larger community
We provide opportunities for YOU to be part of making our crags better-- through trainings and hundreds of volunteer opportunities every year
YOUR support is what makes all this happen. Donate today to be part of the stewardship solution!
Testimonials
The Boulder Climbing Community has revolutionized the way recreation groups deal with land managers and other stakeholders. With a clear mission of stewardship, BCC creates win-win partnerships with governmental agencies, local and national businesses, other organizations, and individuals in the community.
“Helping take care of trails and climbing areas gave me a whole new appreciation for the amount of work that goes into it, and it was a new and fulfilling way to give back and connect with nature”
Nahed Barakat, BCC Volunteer
“I had an amazing experience being a part of the BCC rebolting training program. Everyone was very professional and I learned a lot. The mix of virtual and hands-on training was spot on. I got to shadow Steve "Crusher" Bartlett on my first rebolting day at Easter Rock. He is a climbing legend and I had such a great time learning from him.”
Dan Hunter, Climbing Guide & BCC Volunteer
“I volunteered for the BCC working on a new trail down to Dream Canyon. It was such a cool way to meet the other climbers in the community. I had never realized how strenuous and labor-intensive something so simple as building a trail could be. It made me realize how much we as climbers take for granted. Every beautiful trail, well-kept belay area, and clean route is truly a labor of love!”
Kole Hicks, BCC Volunteer
