Access Fund and the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance are excited to co-present the 2026 Future of Fixed Anchors x New Router Symposium! This event, hosted at the Petzl Technical Institute in Salt Lake City, will be a first of its kind gathering for sharing best practices around anchor replacement, climber safety, and new routing for a local and national audience. Everything related to fixed anchors!
Who’s it for? Local Climbing Organizations, anchor replacement gurus (and novices!), new routers, land managers, and climbers interested in honing their skills around fixed anchors in the vertical realm.
Mark your calendars, and join Access Fund and Salt Lake Climbers Alliance at Petzl HQ on July 18-19!
Thank you to Petzl for their generous support of this event and climbing advocates around the country.
For 35 years, Access Fund has been fundamentally climber-driven. Every member, volunteer, partner, and advocate has helped shape this community and protect the places we climb. This fall, we’re bringing the community together to celebrate that legacy and look ahead to the future we’re building.
Join climbers from every era of the sport: veterans from the days of pitons and lycra, stoke-filled beginners discovering the thrill of outdoor rock for the first time, and everyone in between. Over two days, we’ll honor the impact our community has created over the past three and a half decades and celebrate the people who make climbing what it is today.

Join the Ragged Mountain Foundation crag stewards to help clean-up our local crags!
The Cathole Crag is the perfect after work destination. This beloved traprock crag sees a lot of use and for good reason. Due to it's location, parking off of a major road connecting Berlin and Meriden, the parking area is often littered with trash.

Join the Mid Atlantic Climbers for a trail day at Carderock. We will be removing the invasive plant called Vinca, which will be within a flagged area set up by the resources division—this plant is in an area close to rare plants and is threatening the entire area. Removing the vinca will help improve the habitat, and it is also very close to the climbing wall.
