The Access Fund purchases 120 acres of privately owned land near Altus, OK. Included in the purchase was the popular Baldy Point climbing area. Baldy Point, known locally as “Tuolumne of the mid-west” is a spectacular 600-foot granite dome with numerous high quality crack and friction climbs. The land was under threat of being sold to developers, who were eying it for subdivision. The Wichita Mountains Climbers Coalition raised more than $16,000 to help fund the purchase. The land was subsequently conveyed to adjacent Quartz Mountain State Park for permanent protection. Protection Method: fee acquisition by the AF and transfer to OK Tourism and Recreation Dept.
