A Petra Cliffs community event and CRAG-VT fundraiser. This is a unique opportunity to try out and/or master this type of climbing! There will be a TON of crack boulders of various difficulties in our competition, as well as fun challenges like crack laps (horizontal and vertical), crack wrestling, and the chimney! Check out the event website for more details…
Let’s climb together! CRAG-VT is again hosting our monthly member meet-ups. These are a great opportunity to get to know other local climbers, find partners, share beta, and try hard together. Member meetups are hosted on a rotating basis between Petra Cliffs, Metro Rock, BurlyBloc, and when weather permits, our outdoor crags. These gatherings are free and open to any CRAG-VT member. If you’re not a member yet, sign up at the meet up! Time: 5:30 – 8:00pm.

As a non-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, our mission is to support Vermont’s climbing community by securing, protecting & conserving access to cliffs and other climbing resources.
We Secure Access to Vermont Cliffs
- We build long-term relationships with landowners to maintain access to cliffs located on private property
- We collaborate with the VT Agency of Natural Resources to ensure that climbing on state lands is done so responsibly and in alignment with environmental and recreation management plans
- When necessary, we purchase property & obtain conservation easements to ensure long term access to threatened climbing areas
We Steward Vermont Climbing
- We organize and conduct trail maintenance and volunteer clean-ups
- We collaborate with the Vermont Nongame and Natural Heritage Program to protect the threatened and endangered species that live in cliff ecosystems
- We inform climbers, land managers and the public of access, environmental and historical climbing information
We Build Community
By hosting events, including member meet-ups, stewardship days, speaker series, film showings, and the Vermont Climbing Festival
