McKinney Gap Access Celebration

Join us on April 12 for a special celebration of access, conservation, and community at McKinney Gap! We'll celebrate the CCC's partnership with Southeastern Trust for Parks and Land while enjoying McKinney's climbing. 

The day will feature:

• A talk about the history of climbing access at McKinney Gap
• A tour of the climbing area.
• Community climbing, where attendees will break into groups to climb together and enjoy the day. Please note that CCC will NOT BE ORGANIZING CLIMBING ACTIVITIES! All climbing is on your own and at your own risk.
