Access Fund
Our Mission
Access Fund is the national advocacy organization that leads and inspires the climbing community toward sustainable access and conservation of the climbing environment.
Our Vision
For climbers of today and tomorrow to have the opportunity to share in the joys of climbing and get inspired to protect and care for the places we climb.
Our Work
Protect & Conserve Land
Job number one is to protect and conserve the amazing lands that give so much to climbers. That means showing up in Washington, D.C., buying threatened climbing areas, and rolling up our sleeves to build sustainable trails and climbing areas. Learn more >
Fight for Sustainable Access
Access to climbing is not a given. It's something we have to work hard for. It's thousands of hours collaborating with lawmakers, land owners, and Tribal governments to protect the plants, animals, and traditional values that share these landscapes. Learn more >
