May Update from the Coop

Posted on May 25, 2025

Whew, rainy May!  The next few days look gorgeous – hope to see you out on some dry rock.

The Board of Directors met on May 21.  Full meeting minutes here.  The brief updates:

  • We continue to work on organizing our mailing lists, Co-op annual calendar, outreach, and our volunteer database.
  • We visited a potential rental space that likely won’t work due to parking concerns on the landlord’s part.
  • We discussed a potential space in No. Conway, although the rent would be prohibitive unless we can share the space or come up with other community-driven solutions.
  • We’re continuing to take steps to amend our non-profit status in NH.
  • We’re planning our 2025 summer & fall events and offerings.  Some likely possibilities; stay tuned for dates and events:
    • Bouldering and/or top-roping meet-ups
    • Climber coffee at the crag
    • Fundraising for Ice Fest scholarship(s) – the goal here is to work toward making ice climbing and the festival in particular more accessible to those with historical barriers to climbing.
  • Some of the co-op board plus a volunteer tackled a large project in May: Moving our climbing equipment (pads, wall panels, cubbies, holds, shoes, and more!) from storage in Glen Warehouse to another location in Conway.  The Conway location is temporary; if you know of any other potential affordable storage solutions, please reach out!
