With more new climbers every day, few of us are able to teach responsible outdoor ethics at a rate that keeps pace with the growth of climbing. Yet the need for this mentorship is critical.
Climbing access is more tenuous than ever, and the lands we love are at risk. The political landscape for public lands is shifting, the outdoor recreation community is growing, and our climate is changing. And what it means to navigate this environment as a responsible climber is constantly evolving. As an Access Fund supporter, you already get it. But we need your help.
Access Fund is redefining what it means to mentor climbers about responsible outdoor ethics. Our goal is to reach all climbers across the country and inspire them to care for the lands we love. Will you help support these key initiatives?
Put Climber Stewards on the ground at popular crags to teach responsible outdoor ethics and strengthen relationships with land managers.
Work with nearly 160 local climbing organizations to share crag stewardship best practices and help them mentor the climbers in their communities.
Send educational content and public service announcements about critical access and conservation issues to hundreds of thousands of climbers across the country.
You can have an outsized impact on spreading responsible outdoor ethics by supporting our climber stewardship and education programming today.
