Rock on!

CROWBAR is full! Sorry!

The Forest Service decided to limit our special use permit to 20 racers this year.  A decision they say was based primarily on parking.  I encourage you to write me and/or them and argue this point.  There is adequate parking up there for many more participants, so I apologize.  I am in processs of obtaining an updated permit for next year, and I am hopeful this will not be as much of an issue.

The trail is open to the general public and I invite you to come up and make a donation and/or buy a raffle prize ticket (we have great sponsors and prizes).  Please, come on up! 

I encourage you to carpool where possible to minimize the parking impact this year.  This will help our case for next year!

Course Maps

New Course maps will be available shortly.  Distances and elevation gain are similar to last year if you came out.  That is about 6 miles and 3,000' for recreation division and 11 miles and 4,500 vertical for race division.

The course is modified slightly this year as a recent skiing accident and surgery left me non-weight bearing for the next 6 weeks.  A great group of guys have rallied to keep the race going.  A million thanks!
