Access Fund

Climbing is at risk. Right now, land managers across the country are reeling from a record number of climbers visiting crags and boulder fields this summer. As climbing has grown in popularity, the places we love are suffering under the weight of traffic they were never designed to handle—trails are crumbling, trees are dying, belay areas are beat down and barren, and poop continues to plague our most popular crags. We can’t afford to put this problem off until next month or next year. We’ve reached the crux—and major restrictions and closures are on the horizon if we don’t act now.

Access Fund is working urgently to shape a sustainable future for climbing, and Black Diamond has come forward to match all donations from individual climbers—up to $80,000 through the month of December—to help us get there. We have a plan, but we need the climbing communities’ help. Donate HERE today.

The Honnold Foundation

The Honnold Foundation envisions a world where all people have equal access to opportunity and live in balance with the environment. We believe in solar as a proven, environmentally sound solution to global energy poverty, and we award grants to community organizations whose projects are innovative, equity-focused, and have the potential to shift the narrative on what’s possible for energy access worldwide.
