The Climber’s Pact

Are you willing to stand up for our climbing areas?

As climbers, we have a personal stake in the health of our outdoor landscapes—without them, we have no place to climb. And as our sport continues to grow, we all have a role to play in protecting the places that give us so much. Join us in making a few minor adjustments to your climbing practice that will help protect our outdoor landscapes and the climbing experience we love. The future of our sport depends on you!
