This weekend, at both indoor and outdoor locations throughout the Valley, the Western Mass Climbers’ Coalition is holdng their 2013 Western Mass Rendezvous, “a celebration to protect [their] outdoor playgrounds.”

For more information on how to register for the various events, or to support the coalition and their efforts to keep climbing accessibly in the Valley (see “Gneiss, But Not Easy,” Valley Advocate, 6/4/13), check out their website: www.ClimbGneiss.org.

To learn more about climbing here in the Valley, enjoy the video below, featuring unofficial assistant to the president, and “especially enthusiastic” coalition member Pete Clark, and others.
