Chair: Todd Felix (AMGA, 12/31/2011) 
After cutting his teeth at The Gunks, Todd moved back to Colorado and developed a true passion for Eldorado Canyon State Park. Eldo is World Class climbing, and it's right in our backyard - who could ask for more? A frequent instructor for the Colorado Mountain Club, and an aspiring AMGA guide, Todd can be found most weekends, and many weekday evenings climbing in Eldo. Well, except when the rock is covered with snow and ice... usually. As a Wildlife Biologist, Todd appreciates the beauty of the natural environment. As a climber and ACE board member, he seeks to help conserve the identity and natural wonder of Eldo for climbers as well as other Park users.

BETH BENNETT (at large, term ends 12/31/2011)
Beth started
climbing at the ripe old age of 19, on the runout granite slabs of North Carolina,
well before the bolting movement was conceived. The elegant movement won her
heart and she's been addicted ever since. Although she can climb cracks, face
climbing is a definite preference and she was the first woman to free climb
many Colorado classics including the Naked Edge, Jules Verne, and the Yellow
Wall of the Diamond. Now, older and wiser, she still likes to crank but spends
more time working, probing the secrets of the genes.

Stefan Griebel (at large, term ends 12/31/2011) 
Stefan's first-ever trad lead was Eldorado Canyon's famous Bastille Crack in
1995, which he led using his brand new rack - 1 cam, a set of nuts, and a few
hexes. Since then, he's collected many more cams and climbed many, many more
of Eldo's beautiful and inspiring routes. Hard free climbs, easy solos, moderate
classics - he loves them all! Stefan is interested in protecting and preserving
the nature of climbing in Eldorado Canyon State Park and has finally put his
body where his mouth is by applying to the ACE Board. He loves the outdoors,
and is just as frequently found with a mountain bike, skis, or trail-running
shoes, as he is with a climbing rack. He currently works as an Electrical Engineer
and lives in Boulder with his wife, Sheryl.
CHRIS GEORGE (at large, 12/31/2011) 
Chris found his passion for climbing when he first moved to Colorado in 1993. Cutting his teeth on sport climbs in the Summit County area, his first taste of trad climbing was Eldorado Canyon in 1994. In the late 90's Chris refined his climbing skills at classic areas: Seneca Rocks and the Gunks. He returned to Colorado in 2002 and worked through the trade routes of Eldo. Through the years he's spent time climbing across the US and loves learning about the history of each area. From the sea cliffs of Maine, the southeast "big walls" and the truly epic locales of the pacific and mountain states.
Chris lives in Westminster with his wife and daughter and works as a Realtor and Investor in the Denver/Boulder region. When not climbing you can find him running the trails and the flatirons.

STEPHEN "CRUSHER" BARTLETT (at large, member emeritus)
I've climbed for thirty years, and lived in Boulder since 1983. My fingers have explored climbs
all over the U.S. and in Britain, France, Spain, Greece, Mexico and Canada -- I always love coming
back to Eldo. The rock is polychrome perfection, sculpted by wind, water and gravity's whimsy into
a place a rock climber can call home.
But the canyon is small, the rock is finite, and many, many climbers regard Eldo as their home.
Each generation of climbers has different ideas about climbing: what is possible, what is safe,
what is convenient, and what is worth preserving. The FHRC process gives all interested climbers a
voice in the future of climbing in our fragile shared canyon.
