The Access Fund (AF) is a non-profit involved in conserving America's rock climbing.
The AF Mission
To lead and inspire the climbing community toward sustainable access and conservation of the climbing environment.
The AF Vision
All climbers of today and tomorrow have the opportunity to share in the joys of climbing, and are inspired to protect and care for the places we climb.
The AF is involved in three things– conservation, access, and advocacy.
- Conservation: "Access Fund works to protect and conserve all the beautiful places that make the climbing experience so special."
- Access: "We believe that sustainable access to climbing is good for health and wellness. It's good for rural economies. And it's good for the environment—connecting more people to nature and inspiring them to protect and conserve the lands they love. "
- Advocacy: "Each of us has an incredible opportunity to influence the future of climbing and the greater conservation movement."
