The Access Fund provided technical expertise, assistance drafting a proposal to the landowner, and a grant to Utah Open Lands to assist with the purchase of 224 acres of land at the base of Castleton Tower. The land was under the ownership of the State Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) who was in the process of auctioning it off to the highest bidder. The acquired land contains the historic bivy site, and trailhead access to Castleton. The Kor-Ingalls route on Castleton is listed as one of North America’s “50 Classic Climbs.” The land was under threat of being sold to a developer. Protection Method: fee acquisition by Utah Open Lands with financial assistance from the Access Fund and other donors.
