I wanted to let you know about an Adopt a Crag event happening in your area.
Where: Indian Rock - Castle Rock State Park, Los Gatos
When: Saturday, April 26
Hosted by: Bay Area Climbers Coalition
Details: Indian Rock (in the South Bay) is one of the premier Bay Area crags with amazing bouldering, top rope, and sport climbs. Many climbers know it as the "sweet free parking spots for Castle Rock" but many more know it as home to some of the best boulder problems in the greater Castle Rock area.
Volunteers are needed to help with the construction of a trail from upper to lower Indian Rock. The current trail is causing erosion issues, and in general is unsafe and unsightly for climbers, hikers, and other users of the park space. We will also be doing general clean-up of glass and trash around the different climbing areas.
Join the Bay Area Climbers Coalition in partnering with the Santa Clara County Parks department to take on some needed cleaning and maintenance around Indian Rock. Besides all the awesome work that we will be doing, there will also be tasty free food, VIP/reserved parking, sweet raffle prizes, and post clean-up event sloper crushing!
For complete info, visit the Facebook Event Page and Pre-Register Here!
Every hour of time you donate to a crag helps show land managers that climbers are responsible stewards. Grab some friends and a pair of work gloves and spend a day giving back to the sport you love! We hope to see you there!
Thanks for your support,

I got the email the other day and mis-remembered the cleanup day. I might be able to make the 28th
(and a BUMP)
EDIT: corrected
Thanks Wade Icey

I guess the area in question is the trail down to 'vicious circles' and 'blowing bubbles'? On the right side there ? I never thought the little trail was in bad shape or in need of attention , but I'd be happy to help out in an area I love to climb in ...

Yeah, Dan I was trying to figure out the trail in question as well. I wonder if they're talking about the trail to the rock below Blowing Bubbles. Ther is is some stuff down there. Not really developed though.
I concur about the Summit Rock pickup too. Much more of a worthy target. Maybe the Falcon has something to do with that, even though it shouldn't.
But don't get me started on the bullsh#t-factor involved in that closure. I may just show up with a militia ala Bundy Ranch....
