Cliff Marr - President
 
"A few years ago, after finding out that my local crag wasn’t exactly legal to climb at,
I decided to do a little research into what it would take to open up safe and legal access for the public. After a ton of emails and video calls, I found a group of like-minded individuals and we became the ICC. When I'm not doing climbing related things, you can find me enjoying my first love, running. As of today, I've run at least a mile everyday for the last six and a half years. In the evenings, I share that love of running with youths by coaching middle school cross country and track. " - Cliff
 
 
 
 
 
Jake Clark - Vice President
 
"I’ve been an avid outdoorsy person for the past 10 years and have been in love with the sport of rock climbing for 5 of them! After finding my passion for climbing at Climb Time Indy, I haven’t looked back, spending the past few years traveling, adventuring, and furthering my education so I can help train others on the outdoors, climbing, and safety." -Jake

Help Save Strawberry Fields.
 
We are facing a very serious threat to lose access to ur beloved Strawberry Field's wall at Muscatatuck Park.
 
With a grant deadline soon ending, there are conflicting perspectives and priorities between a few players in the North Vernon community. To most, funds and resources are better allocated in different ways. Discussions are actively ongoing to potentially limit access and legality of using this area as a park resource. 

The ICC is working hard to spread awareness and help support Greg Martin of the Jennings County Parks & Recreation, who is tirelessly fighting to preserve this area. 

Follow our social's for the best way to help support this fight.
