The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

How much money would it take to actually re-open Hawksnest? Is there anything out there (I'm guessing not...but maybe I just don't know about it.) like the Access Fund?

This organization helps to raise money to buy or lease land that has climbing areas on it, thus preserving access to them.

Another example: Carolina Climbers Coalition

Pay careful attention to the paragraph about Laurel Knob. The purchase of this tract of land was completely organized by the CCC. I'm wanting to say $500,000 was raised in about 4 years time to secure this land forever.

Sizable kick-backs to the Seven Devils town council. At least the one's that aren't in prison.

I'm glad to see infrastructure still there as it looks ready to reopen. I took some video back in '07 while it was still in operation. Will have to dig it up. Pray for a reopening:)

just looked up the people in charge of the town and it could have been west palm beach, so I'm guessing that they are not big snow sports fans.
Just to refresh myself they closure was in part to the nest's plan to expand that would run into a golf course?
