Join us for a day dedicated to giving back to our beloved climbing area at Great Falls National Park. This is your chance to learn about The Mid Atlantic Climbers' work, help maintain and beautify one of our favorite climbing spots while connecting with fellow climbers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Location: Great Falls Climbing Area
Great Falls National Park- 9200 Old Dominion Dr., McLean, VA 22102. We will meet in the lower lot (take an immediate right turn after the ranger's kiosk).
Morning: Crag Cleanup and Beautification 9a-12p
Start the day by rolling up your sleeves and diving into some hands-on stewardship. We'll be focusing on cleaning up and enhancing the crag to ensure it's in top shape for everyone to enjoy. Whether it's clearing debris, fixing up trails, or sprucing up the area, your efforts will make a significant impact.
Lunch Break 12-1p
Recharge with a delicious lunch provided for all volunteers. This is a great opportunity to relax, socialize, and share stories with fellow participants.
Afternoon: Open Climbing 1-3p
After our hard work in the morning, it’s time to hit the rocks! Enjoy some open climbing at Great Falls, reconnecting with the crag you helped beautify. Whether you're a seasoned climber or new to the sport, come and make the most of the afternoon on the cliffs.

Comfortable clothing suitable for both work and climbing

Climbing gear (if you have it)
Water bottle and any personal snacks
Bring your own reusable plate and utensil for lunch
A positive attitude and willingness to work together!
