15th Annual Silent Auction

The Silent is Auction is the WMCC's biggest fundraiser of the year. Auction revenue will help protect your local crags! Your support directly benefits the places you love by paying for the porta potties at Farley and Hanging Mountain, new trail signs, kiosks, trail work, and WMCC operating costs.

Funds raised at this year's auction will also help us finish paying off the Access Fund loan for Hanging Mountain and make some much needed updates to the Farley Parking lot this spring.

Western Massachusetts Climbers Coalition (WMCC) is a small nonprofit fueled by volunteers. The mission of the WMCC is to build inclusive relationships with diverse advocacy groups, state and local governments, landowners, and conservation groups to keep climbing areas open and accessible to climbers from all backgrounds, and to conserve the climbing environment in Western Massachusetts.

The WMCC stewards over 13 climbing areas in Western MA, including the popular sport climbing destination, Farley Ledges. In Nov. 2019, the WMCC, with the help of the Ragged Mountain Foundation and the Access Fund, purchased a cliff in Sandisfield, MA called Hanging Mountain. We continue to develop Hanging Mountain through the Route Development Mentorship program and to steward our local climbing areas through the Trail Stewardship Program.
