The club is also hosting a Bouldering Guide Release party immediately following the trail maintenance and repair. The party will be hosted from 4pm to 6pm at the Stone Cliff Inn. Appetizers and a beverage will be provided for the day's volunteers. The new Carver Bouldering Guide will be available for $10 each.
Hope everyone is having a great season, and we look forward to getting some much needed work done on the 23rd!

SPECIAL THANKS and UPDATE to CARVER CLIMBING CLUB MEMBERS!
Our membership renewal drive has been a great success thanks to all of you that have taken the time to enroll/renew online and fill out the new waivers. Speaking with the owner, we have heard nothing but positive things about the interactions he has had with climbers so far this year, and they are very appreciative of all of our efforts. Again, thank you to all of our members for helping to continuing to help protect this local resource.
We know that a few climbers have trespassed at Carver without a card and current waiver, so we also want to thank all of the members that have taken responsibility to inform those climbers and ask them to stop climbing until they have registered and filled out a waiver.
There was a recent report from a member of an interaction with a "trespasser" who refused to leave. It always unfortunate and disappointing to hear of this within the community; still, we want to support any members who may find themselves in a similar situation. If any member runs into this situation, we ask that you report it to the restaurant manager. The manager will then call the sheriff and they will come and deal with that person. The sheriff who responds will recognize the restaurant manager as an "agent" of the property owner and their authority to eject the offenders.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the club through: info@carverclimbingclub.org
Thanks again, and enjoy this great fall weather!
Regards,
Michael Lary, club member

As of May 1st, the landowners, restaurant staff, and club members now expect all climbers to have state ID and a Carver Club Card while climbing on the property surrounding the Carver Bridge Cliff.
"How do I get a card"
Former members must visit our online Membership Management Application to renew their membership. You will need to claim your account, download a new waiver and turn it into Club Sport Adventure Center or the Portland Rock Gym to get your official Carver Climbing Club card. There is no fee to renew your membership, but you must fill out a new waiver and collect your membership card before your next visit to the Carver Bridge Cliff and surrounding boulders.
"What if I am not a member"
Great news! The landowners have agreed to let the club start accepting new members. To become a member, please visit our online Membership Management Application. There you can create an account and download a waiver. To complete your membership, you will need to turn in the completed waiver and pay the one-time $8 fee at Club Sport Adventure Center or the Portland Rock Gym. Only Cash or check payments can be taken.
Remember, it is the responsibility of all club members to police the cliff and surrounding boulders. Let's spread the word, get everyone new waivers and cards, and respect the wishes of the landowners, staff and guests of the Stone Cliff Inn. This is the first and most important step in keeping access open.
Do not hesitate to contact the club at info@carverclimbingclub.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
