The new rec center climbing gym represents two years of TCC advocacy that helped double its size and ensure its quality—and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Here’s what else we’ve been up to in the past year.
Advocacy
Rec Center Climbing Gym
In addition to helping double the size of the new climbing gym, we advocated for the retention of an independent climbing gym consultant to ensure the gym’s overall quality.
Here’s a timeline of our advocacy.
JHMR Via Ferrata
We worked with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to minimize the impact of a via ferrata system on climbing in the Corbet’s area.
Anchors in the Wilderness
We developed a comprehensive response to the National Park Service and US Forest Service Wilderness draft climbing management plans.
Read our letter to the NPS and USFS.
Stewardship
CAM Project
We replaced suspect hardware at Blacktail Butte, the Hoback Shield and Rodeo Wall as part of our ongoing Climbing Area Modernization (CAM) Project.
Here’s what we’ve done at Blacktail Butte and Rodeo Wall.
Learn how we replaced 25 anchors at the Hoback Shield.
Local Hero
We honored Bridger-Teton National Forest Recreation Manager Linda Merigliano for 30 years of service with our inaugural Local Hero Award.

Engagement

We developed The Women’s Grand Scholarship, underwriting two scholarships for all-female guided trips up the Grand Teton.

We hosted the 2nd annual AlpinFilm Festival, featuring two nights of mountain cinema inspired by Jackson’s mountaineering legacy.
