Yosemite Climbing Association’s Twentieth Annual Facelift was a huge success! This year the YCA is pleased to share that through our efforts and coordinations with our partners at Yosemite Conservancy and Yosemite Hospitality we succeeded our goal of becoming the first Zero Landfill event in Yosemite National Park with a total of 91.12% diversion rate! Thanks to everyone who participated in making this event such a monumental occasion.

We’d like to thank the NPS, Climbing Rangers and Stewards for the long standing partnership and assistance and coordination with all special high angle technical cleanup projects and trail maintenance, and other special projects during the event.

Thanks to all of our partners and sponsors for supporting the YCA and our celebratory 20th Annual Event: The North Face, Patagonia, La Sportiva, Cliff Bar, Tioga-Sequoia, Dr. Squatch, Royal Robbins, Osprey, Edelrid, Pure Project Brewing, Kodiak Cakes, Touchstone Climbing, Arcteryx, Google, Toad & Co., Black Diamond, Athletic Brewing, American Alpine Club.

Thank you to our evening presenters for sharing their time, stories, wisdom, thoughts, laughter and inspiration bringing us together as a community.

And most importantly a Huge thanks to our volunteers and especially our core volunteers. Without your help and participation this event could not happen.
