The climbing areas we love are on the brink.
We are facing unprecedented wildfires, destructive flooding, disappearing open spaces, and more people out on the land than ever before. No matter where you live or climb, these changes are having a significant impact on the climbing landscapes we love. These are not far-off threats for future generations to solve. They are here now, and it’s time to rally.
REI has come forward to help—matching every donation up to $55,000 from climbers just like you to help Access Fund protect and conserve the lands we love. Donate now to double your contribution to the fight.
Access Fund is working urgently to help the climbing landscapes we love adapt to these changing conditions. We are making good progress, but we need to scale these efforts up before it’s too late. With your support we can:
Buy threatened climbing landscapes to save them from development.
Work with lawmakers to protect public lands and advance climate action.
Put Conservation Teams in the field to restore more climbing areas and help them adapt.
Put more Climber Stewards in the field to help visitors minimize their impacts at popular crags.
Rally America’s 8 million climbers to join the fight.
Will you chip in to help us continue this critical work? Donate today and REI will match your gift, sending 2x the funds to tackle these big environmental challenges head on.
