Conservation
The Conservation branch of EC3 is dedicated to preserving and protecting the natural environments where we climb. Through stewardship programs, trail maintenance, and habitat restoration efforts, we ensure that these outdoor spaces remain sustainable for future generations. By promoting responsible practices like Leave No Trace, we empower climbers to minimize their impact and become active stewards of the land.
Area Clean-Ups
We lead regular area clean-ups, engaging volunteers to help remove litter, protect natural habitats, and keep our climbing areas beautiful and sustainable for everyone.
Fixed Hardware
Our fixed hardware program is dedicated to maintaining the safety and sustainability of climbing routes by inspecting, replacing, and installing hardware like bolts and anchors, ensuring they meet the highest safety standards with minimal environmental impact.
Trail Managment
EC3 focuses on constructing and maintaining sustainable trails to reduce erosion, preserve ecosystems, and ensure safe and accessible routes to climbing areas.
Impact Mitigation
EC3 minimizes climbing's environmental impact through efforts like ecosystem restoration, wildlife protection, and impact mitigation. From installing informational signage to managing closures and waste stations, we help preserve climbing areas and protect local wildlife.
