2025 Climbing Advocacy Conference

Calling all LCOs, nonprofits, corporate partners, land managers, land owners, climbing gyms, land trusts, clubs, and anyone else who calls themselves a climbing advocate!

Join us in Tucson, AZ, on April 4 and 5, 2025 for our annual climbing advocacy conference. Come learn the latest from national experts on protecting access to your favorite crags.

Each year, Access Fund unites the passionate leaders of the climbing advocacy community to celebrate our victories and tackle the challenges ahead. We bring together local climbing organizations, land managers, landowners, climbing gyms, gear companies, land trusts, and more to forge the future of climbing. Together, we rally for progress, ensuring that our beloved sport continues to thrive and inspire for generations to come.

This year, we’ll meet in the climbing hub of Tucson to experience southwest climbing and discuss both regional and national access issues. Mark your calendars for 2 days of presentations, panels, and conversations on protecting America’s climbing.
