SCMA at Climb Smart 2016
Again this October the Southern California Mountaineers Association (SCMA) is proud to support Friends of Joshua Tree (FOJT) and Climb Smart. SCMA members wake up early on Saturday and Sunday AM to prepare a hot breakfast available to Climb Smart attendees and volunteers for a $5 donation to Friends of Joshua Tree (FOJT). At Climb Smart 2015 the SCMA was able to raise and donate just under $1000 to FOJT. Bring an extra $10 to Climb Smart for a great cause and let us do the cooking and wash the dishes while you have your coffee.
The Climb Smart Festival (Friday-Sunday, October 14-16, 2016) includes: climbing clinics for climbers of all levels instructed by Certified PCGI and AMGA guides, camping, multimedia and athlete presentations, park projects, a vendor fair, the always popular raffle and auction, dinners Friday and Saturday, and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to have a great time, improve your skills, and win some raffle prizes, all for the bargain price of $109. Registration for attendees is now open.
