WWC Guiding in Hueco 2020 Covid

Similar to most things in life right now everything is a little different in a pandemic. Our main goal is to keep the office safe, keep our guides and our customers safe and keep Hueco open.

If you have any symptoms or feeling sick please do not go climbing and mingle with other climbers.

Masks:
“Masks are not required when hiking to an area. Once in the area if persons are within 6 ft they must be wearing a mask. The person doing the activity (climbing) may take off their mask.”
— Ruben, TPWD
Masks are required in the office.
Masks should be work when handing paperwork off to the office through the side door.

Group Size:
10 people are still allowed until further notified by Hueco.
No public tours with random people allowed aka people who are not traveling together—we can only take out people who are traveling together. Example: we can take out 2 groups of 4 if they all came to Hueco together and are staying and climbing together.

Entering the Park on Tour:
You will meet your guide outside of the Park and fill out paperwork. Follow your guide into the Park. Your guide will stop at the side office door and hand paperwork to Park staff. Proceed to the parking area agreed upon and wait for your guide.

Entering the Park for Nt Mt:
The Park will be allowing people in one at a time to check in for North Mountain. People will be held at the gate and sent in upon approval. Wear you mask when in the office.

Private, single or limited size tours:
Are happening and encouraged—check in as all regular tours.

Hand sanitizer—alcohol spritzers in the back country before, during and after climbing.
Rubbing alcohol, as we all know, has been a tool in a climber’s kit. Please bring and use of rubbing alcohol, spraying hands before climbing, spring holds after climbing and spring hands after climbing. Look for 95% to 99% alcohol purity.

While out in the backcountry:
Your guide will be smart and keep tours separate in the back county keeping WWC tours away from other WWC tours and other concessions.

It has been such a rewarding experience to work with the Estes Valley Land Trust and The Access Fund making Prospect Mountain and The Thumb and The Needle part of our open space and public lands! The town of Estes Park voted for the funds and in support of the project and we received the matching GoCo grant. Now we just need a little more -- 40,000 left to raise through the Access Fund! Please consider donating -- take pride in knowing you helped protect a piece of Estes Park and climbing history for future generations. ⁣ Link in bio. ⁣

I’m sure you’ve heard by now but Hueco is closed until further notice. Help stop the spread. Be safe and stay healthy. Thanks to the employees at Hueco who kept things going for as long as they could— stay safe and healthy we will see you soon.

April 2006 was the end of my first full Hueco Season and I was hooked. Great friends helped make that happen and team blond came to visit! The seeds of Wagon Wheel Co-opt were planted. We returned that June to go through guide training.

Dreaming about Hueco Tanks! These picture were taken when Adam and I set out for my first trip to "live" in Hueco for winter of 2005-2006. We were newly married, just agreed to buy what is now Adam's Tree Service but the deal would not go through until after a winter in Hueco. We stayed on Adam's friend's land for a month or two until we purchased our hunk of desert on Wagon Wheel Dr.
