The wheeled litter is basically a gurney with a mountain bike wheel that will allow the fire crew to easily extract injured or unconscious persons from remote and rugged areas. NRAC is committed to making our climbing areas safe and user-friendly and we could not achieve that without our amazing partners like the Fayetteville Fire Department. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨! Consider 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 to our cause to help fund more projects just like this one! ☀️ Summer is in full swing…and we have some updates for you! ☀️

We also added a lower bolt on “Hippie Dreams” (5.7) and two bolts on “Souled Out” (5.9). NRAC is dedicated to making these popular routes safer for climbers. A huge 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to our bolting committee/team for keeping us safe and well protected. 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦?

The current parking lot for Sandstonia (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘊𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺) has recently had issues with overcrowding and even blocking a private landowner's access to their property.
In response, NRAC has had signs printed that will help direct users to park for maximum efficiency and prevent blocking private owner access! If you use the area, please take a moment to look through these photos that demonstrate proper parking procedures. Remember, always have a plan B. If you show up at a crag and the parking lot is full, please consider simply going to a different crag. Following recommended parking procedures will help keep our crags access available to all while maintaining good relationships with private landowners and more! |
