I’m not sure exactly how recently the Access Fund updated their web site, but they now have an RSS feed for their news. This will hopefully help the spread of news, access issues, and events.

Time to Join or Renew Your Access Fund Membership

My postal mail has backed up quite a bit over the past couple weeks and I just started sorting out some of the non-bills. I saw an Access Fund letter and immediately opened it – time to renew. I should have remembered this sooner, especially since Climbing Narc posted about the Access Fund recently. Luckily, my membership hadn’t lapsed, so I renewed online.

So here’s my annual reminder to do something important for climbing this holiday season. Give your local crags a gift and join/renew the Access Fund.

Here’s some of where your money goes:

Nearly 85 cents of every membership dollar funds projects and services that conserve climbing access, protect the climbing environment, and minimize impacts and restrictions across the U.S.

Your donations allow the Access Fund to work with legislators, acquire land to open or preserve climbing, assist with formation of Local Climbing Organizations across the country, and more

By joining, you take an active role in protecting and conserving climbing areas for this and future generations.
