What We Are Doing
Rebuilding the Rad Wall landing at El Rito
NMCRAG and the Access Fund organized a crag improvement project at El Rito on March 4, 2017. Twenty-four volunteers showed up to rebuild the landings at the Rad Wall and installed gabion baskets to decrease erosion. The base of the Rad Wall is now level and more safe for both climbers and belayers...
Where We Are Headed
Increasing access to the best bouldering in New Mexico
With the publication of the New Mexico Bouldering guidebook, our state is gaining recognition for its world class bouldering in Roy and the incredible quartzite of the Ortegas. We want to make sure these resources stay open and would like to gain more access to public lands where abutting private property is an issue...
