Our Approach
When a climbing access or conservation issue occurs in your backyard, who will be there to help? The first and best line of defense is almost always the local climbers. That’s why a critical piece of Access Fund’s work is inspiring and organizing local climbers to join together to protect and conserve climbing areas. Working together as a national network of climbing advocacy organizations, we’re protecting more climbing areas than ever.
