What you need to know about climbing after rain or snow.
Our History
In the fall of 2007, the Mushroom Boulder was closed to climbing and the local climbing community realized there were no organizations in place to communicate with the park about this closure. As a result, in the spring of 2008 the Climbers of Hueco Tanks Coaltion was formed. The continued popularity of Hueco Tanks on a national and international level has caused an anuual increase of climbing traffic. The Climbers of Hueco Tanks Coaltion wants to ensure the climbing at Hueco Tanks will continue and help resolve conflicts that may arise.
Our Team
The Climbers of Hueco Tanks Coalition is a 501(c) 3 organization, run solely by volunteers since 2007. If you are interested in helping out, don't hesitate to contact us, there is always something in the works.
Our Mission
The Climbers of Hueco Tanks Coalition is dedicated to preserving and enhancing rock climbing at Hueco Tanks Historic Site. We commit to working cooperatively with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to proactively assist in managing climbing areas while conserving natural and historical resources.
