Climb Smart is FOJT's biggest fundraiser of the year, and benefits JOSAR, HARP, JT Climber Stewards, Climber Coffee, and The Access Fund. Proceeds from this event also support FOJT operations for the next fiscal year. With your attendance, you'll be supporting FOJT and the climbing community to provide future access to JTNP climbing crags.
FOJT is a 501c3 organization, so your contributions are tax-deductible.
JTNP will unveil a draft of the Climbing Management Plan THIS FALL, which will be a key topic of Climb Smart 2022. It is imperative that we have strong voices and participation to guide JTNP policy over the next 20 years.
