Toilet Project
Muir Valley is soon going to have three vault toilets! With generous grant support from the Access Fund and the American Alpine Club, we are building these facilities in the North, Center, and South parts of the valley. The vault toilets will help prevent pollution in the valley.

Moves for Muir 2012
Moves for Muir 2012 was a fundraising event for Friends of Muir Valley, held on November 23 at Hoosier Heights Indianapolis. Hoosier Heights sponsored the event, and contributed all proceeds to FoMV - an extraordinarily generous donation. Over 100 climbers and boulderers competed. Thanks to Kris Hampton for another great job as emcee, to Michael Carney for photography, to the volunteers who cooked up delicious food and did other work behind the scenes, to the Webers for their support, and especially to Joe Anderson and the staff of Hoosier Heights who generously hosted the event and worked so hard to make it rock.
