Texas Climbers Coalition (TCC) and Access Fund partnered to permanently protect Monster Rock outside of Austin, Texas. Monster Rock has been a popular crag for years, giving climbers relief from the heat and crowds of other central Texas crags. Monster Rock is an overhanging limestone crag, home to more than 50 routes in a scenic setting along the Pedernales River. Landowner John Hogge donated the property to TCC to take on the primary role of ownership and management of the property. Access Fund holds a recreation easement on the parking, access, and climbing to ensure permanent protection.
