How much does climbing mean to you? And what would you do if it all went away?
There’s no one, singular threat to America’s climbing. The places we love are stressed by a combination of factors, from tenuous protections for public lands to ill-conceived federal policy; climbing areas sold off for development to erosion and overuse at iconic climbing areas that we all love.
Access Fund was founded in 1991 to protect America’s climbing. We’ve made so much progress on that front—from passing bills in Congress to buying threatened climbing areas to building sustainable trails—but our work is not done. In fact, it’s just as important as ever.
Access Fund works day in and day out to protect the climbing landscapes we all love, but we need to scale up these efforts. With your support, we will be able to keep doing the following:
Advocate for climbers with decision-makers to craft laws and policies that protect and conserve America’s climbing.
Put Conservation Teams on the ground to build sustainable climbing infrastructure.
Educate climbers about local ethics and low-impact practices.
Provide grants, loans, and technical support to local climbing organizations.
Rally climbers across the country through our network of more than 120 local climbing organizations.
Don’t miss this chance to play your part in protecting America’s climbing—we can’t do it without you.
