In early October, the Bay Area Climbers Coalition collaborated with the World Climb Project (@theworldclimb), an international research effort studying the impacts of climbing on cliff vegetation. Felipe Morales (@morarmi.felipe), a researcher with the World Climb Project visited California to sample popular climbing areas around the Bay Area. The project focuses on rock climbing areas in Mediterranean ecosystems around the world, surveying plants, lichens, and mosses on climbing faces. BACC community ambassador Charles Futoran connected with Felipe to act as local guide and rope gun.
