local climbing organizations
A local climbing organization (LCO) is an organization, association, or access committee working to keep climbing areas open, conserve the climbing environment, and promote responsible climbing at the local or regional level. LCOs are the liaison between the climbing community and the land managers and owners for the crags within their region.
Affiliates are LCOs who have joined the Access Fund Affiliate Program. Through the Affiliate Program, the Access Fund’s goals are not only to strengthen our relationship with the climbing organizations that perform such great work on the local and regional levels, but to strengthen all of our advocacy efforts as well. If you are an LCO listed below and are not an Access Fund Affiliate, please contact Zachary Lesch-Huie, Affiliate Director via email at zachary@accessfund.org.
