CLEANUP EVENT: National Public Lands Day Sept 25th
To celebrate National Public Lands Day, our friends at the Colorado Canyons Association are hosting a cleanup on Saturday, September 25th. They will be focusing on cleaning up the Potholes campground and the surrounding areas in Escalante Canyon.
Climbers are frequent visitors to Escalante Canyon and we are part of a diverse user group which visits Escalante Canyon. Relationships with local land owners have become strained recently due to increased usage (higher traffic, speeding, illegal camping, etc). Activities such as this cleanup demonstrate to both local and federal land owners that we are invested in this area and we are willing to pitch in to care for it.
We at the WCCC hope to see you there!!!!
When: Saturday, September 25th from 9 AM - 1 PM
Where: Meet at the Potholes Recreation site
What you’ll be doing: Escalante Canyon is a beautiful landscape with many great places to camp. With heavy visitation, however, many of the campsites have become over-used and damaged. We’ll be removing unnecessary fire rings, cleaning up trash, and maintaining heavily-used areas, particularly around the Potholes area. These efforts will benefit the health of the landscape, wildlife, and visitors alike!
Please bring: Snacks, water, work gloves, eye protection, long pants, and closed-toed shoes
We’ll provide: Trash bags, tools, and light refreshments

Event Recap: Dynamite Shacks Cleanup May 22, 2021
On Saturday May 22nd, the WCCC hosted a cleanup event at the Dynamite Shacks bouldering area. Randall Chapman, a local climber and former WCCC Board Member has been organizing an annual cleanup for over a decade and we were happy to help carry on this tradition.
The Dynamite Shacks bouldering area sits on property owned by the City of Grand Junction. The City donated trash bags and paint supplies to help facilitate our cleanup. Daylight Donuts even donated two dozen donuts to fuel our efforts!
15 WCCC members spent the morning re-painting the Dynamite Shack buildings and cleaning up trash and broken glass.
We look forward to seeing YOU at our next event.
Stay tuned to our website and social media channels.
