The Southeastern Climbers Coalition was awarded a grant to help pay for the purchase of the Jamestown climbing area. The Jamestown climbing area is comprised of nearly one mile of 60 – 80 foot tall sandstone cliff-line in northeastern Alabama. Situated above the town of Jamestown, this climbing area had been closed to the public since the early 1990s due to liability concerns. The Southeastern Climbers negotiated the purchase of nearly 7 acres of land, resulting in the reopening of this southern gem for climbing. Protection method: fee acquisition by SCC with financial assistance from the Access Fund and other donors.
