Trip Report: Time Wave Zero by Codey Foster

On February 23rd we traveled to Mexico with a single objective:
Time Wave Zero (TWZ) 5.12a III, 23 pitches of pure concentrated sport climbing in El Potero Chico.

Earlier this year we received an envelope with no return address. Its contents were what appeared to be a copy of the RMF’s Deed of Conservation Restriction and a letter from a concerned neighbor, who wanted to make us aware of a troubling situation while remaining anonymous.

2021 saw the completion of two important projects related to information and navigation at Ragged.

For years, we at the RMF have watched the seemingly inexorable decline of the hemlocks, rooted in the rocky soil around Ragged Mountain’s Main Cliff. One by one they fell victim to Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, Adelges tsugae (HWA) and there was nothing to be done… or so we thought.

Join the RMF and Access Fund for an adopt a crag at the South Buttress of West Rock in New Haven, Connecticut. Saturday, November 14, 2021. Please RSVP.

Join RMF for a crag cleanup at Cathole Mountain - Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 10am.
