The Role of an LCO + The Craggin’ Classic with RCA President Ladd Raine

First Ascent Podcast

Ladd Raine, President of the Rumney Climber’s Association, is on the pod today to talk all about Rumney and the upcoming AAC Craggin’ Classic on Sept 6-8.

Ladd and I talk about what a local climbing organization (LCO) does, the history of the Rumney Climber’s Association and The Craggin’ Classic, what to expect at The Craggin’ Classic, how to report if a bolt needs to be replaced at Rumney, and all of the ways to get involved in your LCO if you want to help with the stewardship of the crag.

The AAC Craggin’ Classic is coming to Rumney on Sept 6-8. Learn all about it here.
