The Access Fund provided grants to CRAG-VT to assist with the purchase of a popular rock and ice climbing crag near Burlington, VT. For years, access at the Bolton Quarry has been tenuous at best. However, the stunning vertical ice pillars and aesthetically pleasing rock climbs have kept CRAG-VT focused on landowner relations. CRAG-VT negotiated access to the quarry in 2002, only to have it closed again due to increased traffic and displeased neighbors. Protection Method: fee acquisition by CRAG-VT with financial and technical assistance from the Access Fund and other donors.
