We believe engaging more people in climbing is key in creating supportive, kind, and courageous communities that extend far beyond our walls. In addition, we pledge to protect the places where we play —outdoor climbing areas that are near and dear to our community—through donations and advocacy.

SUPPORTING OUR INDUSTRY
We also partner with organizations that are committed to the climbing community as a whole. They are the voice of climbers and our guide when it comes to safely explore and protecting the outdoors.
Climbing organizations in our current giving program include Access Fund, American Alpine Club, American Safe Climbing Association, Big City Mountaineers and Outward Bound.
