Initial activities centered on recreational outings to local climbing areas and occasional efforts at trail upkeep and improvements. Since then the BRMA has grown in members and scope. While the goals of the association have always included promoting rock climbing and a more cohesive climbing community, the roll its membership play has grown to include that of guide, instructor, environmentalist, and activist. The initial guided trips for a few people new to the world of technical rock climbing have grown to include special excursions for groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, University Outdoor Programs, and urban at-risk youth. This is the only way to help ensure that future generations will have the same opportunities that we now enjoy.
Conservation works to benefit all climbers.
The Blue Ridge Mountaineering Association is always looking for ways that it can best serve the community and provide a fun and healthy environment for all.
