ICA is blowing up!
The last year has been very productive for the Idyllwild Climbers Alliance- there has been a concerted effort to bolster elements of the infrastructure of the organization to enhance the mission of climber advocacy and stewardship of these wonderful areas.
Examples:
- Development of identity materials: logo and and other branding elements
- Establishing IRS 501 (c) (3) status
- Technology structure (Google Workspace)
- Reinforcing and building key relationships: Access Fund, American Safe Climbing Association, sponsors, land managers
- Website development: www.idyllwildclimbers.org
The ICA has a website!
The Idyllwild Climbers Alliance now has a website, with lots of great content, and will serve as the informational hub for ICA operations. Some of the content includes:
- Lots of beta about climbing in the San Jacinto Mountains
- Historical background on climbing at Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks (written by Bob Gaines)
- Fantastic imagery from Kevin Powell, Greg Epperson and Bob Gaines
- Resources for trip planning
- How to become involved with the ICA
- Donation portal (always critical!)
- Updates and upcoming events
- Photo gallery of past events
And so much more! Check it out, and share it with others…
