Springfield Boulders Adopt a Crag

Join Mid Atlantic Climbers for a day of graffiti removal at the Springfield Boulders. We’ll use Elephant Snot, scrub the paint with provided brushes, and use a pressure washer to remove the paint and product. We will use a dropcloth to prevent runoff into the nearby stream. We will also pick up trash around the crag and removing any broken glass we find.

Registration is required. Please register at https://www.midatlanticclimbers.org/portfolio/springfield-boulders-november-12th-2023.

Due to the limited parking available, we’ll be meeting at the Hooes Road Park parking area and carpooling the short distance to the pull off for Springfield Boulders. https://goo.gl/maps/6VraNV64TW9kLkqy6

For all Adopt a Crag events, please keep the following in mind:

  • Wear closed toed shoes. Long sleeves and pants are recommended.

  • Bring water, snacks, and extra layers for the elements.

  • Be prepared to be challenged, work hard, and gain karma points!

  • Work includes lifting and carrying up to 50-100 pounds, walking on unstable terrain, and being exposed to the elements (sun, rain, heat, cold, everything in between and beyond.) We are able to accommodate a wide range of abilities and experience levels - please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your participation.

  • Although we'll be outside, if you are feeling ill or have had any recent exposure to Covid please reconsider and stay home to rest up!
