I also want to let you know that Stone Mountain Adventures has partnered with a local Rock Climbing group called C3PA and are working to open Donation Rocks for climbing this summer.

To that end we are hosting a “CRAG CLEAN-UP DAY” on Sunday 4/10/2011 from 10.30 to 3.30pm at Donation Rocks.

If you have interest in getting your hands dirty & helping haul wood & build trails then come join us at Donation Rocks near Stone Mountain Adventures / Horsepower Farm on Sunday!

What: Crag Cleanup & Trail Building Day!

When: Sunday, 4/10/2011 from 10.30 – 3.30pm

Where: Donation Rocks in Northern Huntingdon County near Stone Mountain Adventures & Horsepower Farm.

Why: Because Donation Rocks have not been climbing on for 5 years & there’s lot’s of clean-up to do.

Folks are meeting at the top of Pine Grove Mountain at 10am at the JoHays Vista on Route 26 at 10am. Or come over whenever.

We are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo EXCITED to be able to climb again at Donation Rocks this summer!

I hope to see you either on Saturday at the Outdoor EXPO at Appalachian Outdoors OR at Donation Rocks on Sunday!

Cheers – Jud, Anne, Wyatt & Molly Millar
