Smith Rocks Detour

Filed under: Uncategorized — Les @ 4:53 pm

Thanks to our wonderful sponsor, Climb Max Mountaineering, we were invited to the Smith Rocks Detour in September. The Detour is a climbing event that includes bouldering, slackline, and dyno competions. Also at this weekend event was the Reel Rock Film Tour which was shown on Saturday night. Members of MLI helped The Access Fund haul rocks for trail building that will take place in the spring.

Native American Climbing Trip

MLI had a fantastic time taking the elementary students from Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) on a rock climbing trip. For many of the students, it was the first time they had ever been rock climbing. We had a group of 10 and spent time on routes of various levels having a great time. NAYA is a really fun organization to work with and we really appreciate the fantastic mission they have “…to enhance the diverse strengths of our youth and families in partnership with the community through cultural identity and education.”
