Eldorado Fixed Hardware Review Committee Application

The Action Committee for Eldorado (ACE) is currently seeking climbers interested in serving on the Eldorado Fixed Hardware Review Committee. The board may select as many as several people to serve on the Committee for the 2007 calendar year for one or two year terms.

The Fixed Hardware Review Committee holds periodic meetings at which public comments are elicited on the merit or demerit of proposed new routes and the replacement or relocation of fixed anchors. The Committee then advises Eldorado Canyon State Park staff regarding the community's opinion of the proposals. The Committee meets at least two times per year, in the spring and fall. Members should expect to volunteer approximately thirty hours of service per year. ACE periodically engages in special service projects for the Park, and additional time may be required for these projects. If you are interested in helping to preserve and enhance the quality and diversity of climbing opportunities in the Eldorado Canyon State Park, please fill out and submit the following application via email to board@ACEEldo.org.

Applicants selected to serve on the Committee will be notified by phone or mail.
