The first ever Dierkes Lake Clean & Crank will take place at 8:30 AM on Saturday, May 14. The event is scheduled to last until 6:30 PM.

There will be a clean up of the climbing area from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Park entrance fees will be waived for those volunteering for the clean-up.

At noon a bouldering competition will begin. Registration for the bouldering competition will be $15 with proceeds going towards the Anchor Replacement Initiative and Access Fund. Awards and swag raffle will commence at 5:30 PM.

It looks like there are counterfeit versions of some Petzl products out in the wild. It is assumed the counterfeits are coming out of China and are very difficult to discern from the real thing. The unfortunate thing, besides the stolen intellectual property, is they do not meet any of the safety standards. For the complete story visit Petzl’s web site.

Wonder if this guy has been to Crank Cave and Weeping Cave, lol.
