Stewardship
For over 25 years, the SLCA has provided Stewardship of outdoor climbing resources in the Wasatch
Climbing Access Trails
Since 2002, the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance has played a role in caring for climbing landscapes across the Uinta Wasatch Cache and Manti la Sal National Forests through climbing access trail stewardship. Trail stewardship is an ongoing need in order to keep climbing areas open and the natural landscapes protected. We accomplish our trail stewardship by combining volunteer Adopt a Crag opportunities with professional trail crews to ensure high quality and long lasting trails.
Fixed Anchors
In 2020, the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance established the nation’s 1st professional Anchor Maintenance Crew. The mission of the SLCA’s Fixed Anchor Maintenance Program is to assess the current condition of established anchors, identify and monitor current and future maintenance needs, and replace antiquated and unreliable anchors as necessary and in partnership with land owners and agencies. Since 2014, the SLCA has maintained nearly 6,000 fixed anchors across Utah.
