Boise Climbers Alliance

FYI - After attending the Dean Lords presentation last week I was motivated to donate to BCA. After clicking the donate link I received the following message. This recipient is currently unable to receive money.

Since the link isn't working, do you have another method to take donations? How about a tip jar?

I just found out, but am sure alot of you already knew, about Table Rock. Apparently the historical society is contemplating locking the gate for vehicle access. Seems, as we have all seen, the jerks trashing it up are ruining it for us all. I had a little chat with Mike Waybright from the Idaho Historic Sites and gave him my feedback. He told me to have others give their feedback, call 334-2844 or email mike.waybright@ishs.idaho.gov. Hopefully we can keep vehicle access to climb up there, even if they fence of part of it to park it will be less of a hike from the gate. So everybody sound off.
Thanks for reading

P.S. Am trying to get anyone interested to join our group for some climbing out at Swan Falls on May 9th and 10th(we are camping overnight) would love to have more pads and camaraderie. All are welcome, so come on out bro's

I created an account some time ago (scrappyv14), forgot my password so I tried to change it. Got the email with the 1 time log in, logged in, changed password, clicked save and it gave me an access denied error. I tried a couple times to no avail. Ultimately I just changed my email and username (now scrappy) and created a new account (scrappyv14) under my original email.

Just a bug I thought you might want to know about.

Last night at the Reel Rock Tour somebody from the BCA mentioned that during the last year the BCA has had a budget of $250 and $200 of that came from this guys wife. As a very active local climber I have never been asked to donate until last night. Just as a bum can't expect to be handed money without begging for it, the BCA can't expect people to donate without asking for donations. I am sure the area climbers would love to contribute to the cause but it seems, like everyone else, they need a little motivation. Why not stage a comp (or slideshow, raffle, etc.) with all or a part of the proceeds going to the BCA? Not sure what percentage of ticket sales for the Reel Rock Tour went to the BCA but it seems like they should have given you a decent percentage. What's your (BCA's) take is on this, maybe the $250 a year is enough to solve their problems? Then again everyone could use a little more money. Rent a sandblaster to erase the graffiti at Table Rock, Swan Falls, and Reynolds Creek, put in better trails at the Black Cliffs and Table Rock, pay for better signage, there are a number of things that more money would be good for.
