The Access Fund has been a national advocacy organization that keeps U.S. climbing areas open and conserves the climbing environment. The North Face was a founding partner with the Access Fund on the Land Conservation Campaign, a first-ever revolving loan program that provides local climbing organizations with the funds and expertise needed to act quickly to save threatened climbing areas. Our contribution helped to support the conservation of the Rumbling Bald West Side Boulders in North Carolina, among many others in recent years. By partnering with the Access Fund, we show our support for the climbing community and the climbing access cause. Together, we keep climbing areas open and conserved.
