Accomplishments

  • Bolton Quarry Project - completed December 20, 2004

  • March 27, 2004 Everest Challenge: CRAG-VT hosts its first climbation. More than 70 climbers ascended a group total of 29,035 ft—the height of Mt. Everest—at Petra Cliffs and raised more than $8,500 towards the Quarry Project!

  • June 28th, 2003 Lower West Celebration Day: With the large number of motivated participants, we were able to construct rock bars to stabilize existing trails, brush out areas that need to revegetate, and construct a new trail to the top of the cliff (at the Harvest Moon end). A new sign was also installed which will soon contain information about the cliff and CRAG-VT.

  • Lower West Bolton Donation - completed May 21, 2003, grand opening and trail day June 28th
