How far would you go to protect the places you cli

How far would you go to protect the places you climb?

Our favorite crags and climbing spots face constant challenges—whether it’s erosion, overuse, land being sold for development, or decisions made without climbers in mind. These are the places that inspire us, push us, and bring our community together. Imagine if they disappeared.

Here’s your chance to take action.

From now until December 14, your donation to the Access Fund will go twice as far thanks to a $75,000 matching pledge from Black Diamond Equipment.

Your support helps:
⚒️ Build and maintain sustainable climbing trails and infrastructure
🌱 Educate climbers on protecting the environment
🏞️ Save threatened climbing areas from development
📢 Advocate for climbing-friendly policies and public land protections

Whether you give $10 or $100, every contribution helps protect the climbing landscapes we love.

Don’t wait. Let’s preserve these places for today and for future generations.

💻 Donate now: accessfund.org/conserve

Together, we can keep climbing accessible and sustainable for everyone.
