Climber Education
Climbing responsibly in an ever-changing world.
Whether you’re a brand new climber or a grizzled veteran, we all have something to learn when it comes to climbing responsibly in an ever-changing world. As climbers, we have a personal stake in the health and integrity of the outdoor landscapes we love—without them, we have no place to climb. But just loving a climbing area is not enough.

We must be willing to do our part to protect these places. That’s why a core piece of Access Fund’s mission is to help climbers understand how to minimize their impacts and navigate changes in the climbing environment, the political landscape, the climate, and our community.
How We Make a Difference
Landowners and managers are more conscious of the impacts of climbing than ever before, which can put access at risk. Access Fund equips the climbing community with the tools we need to address these growing ecological and social impacts.
