Thank you to everyone who showed up for the meeting. Hopefully everyone learned a little (or a lot)! Special thanks go out to Moosejaw for hosting, providing the club with an extra discount, and for contributing a Sterling Rasta Rope plus $60 in gift cards for our raffle/fundraiser. Thanks to Jesse Gross for his presentation on Outdoor Ethics: From Gym to Crag, and to Daniel Money for his comically informative presentation on Climbing in the UK. Thanks to Jeremy for lending his projector and screen, and no thanks to me for forgetting to set up my speakers. With formalities out of the way, onward to the meeting minutes! ![]()
See our post on Cliff Drive to read about KCCC's joint effort with REI and ERTA to clean up our local crag. ERTA is hosting another cleanup this Saturday, October 19th at 9:00am where they will start prepping the 20 miles of mountain bike trails they have envisioned for the area. Head over to the Cliff Drive Website for more information. Future Events
Join us for a night of climbing movies and climbing stoke. Location TBD.
We're going to go ahead and assume that everyone is too busy in late December for a proper Holiday Party and instead, as usual, host a winter party in January. If you're interested in opening your house to the love and warmth that is the KCCC, shoot us an email at KCClimbingClub@gmail.com
Past president, Corbin Brady, has offered to present a slideshow on climbing in the Bugaboos! "The Bugaboos are a mountain range in the Purcell Mountains of eastern British Columbia, Canada. The granite spires of the group are a popular mountaineering destination." - Google.
Winter is a great time to practice your rope skills. Let us know what clinics you want to see and we'll do our best to get them rolling! Presentations
The final agenda item of the night involved raffling off a Sterling Rasta Rope and six $10 gift cards to Moosejaw. Raffle tickets cost $5, or five for $20. Proceeds of this raffle are going to development efforts at Cliff Drive. We raised a whopping $325.00! Way to support local climbing, KCCC; you guys rock! Winners of the raffle included the grand-prize rope going to Camille, and the $10 Gift Cards going to David, Scott, Bryan, Seth, Corbin, and Daniel! Thanks to everyone who came out, and especially to Moosejaw for hosting! ![]() "A big thank you to Moosejaw and Kansas City Climbing Club for making this beautiful [rope] a part of my life.
