At Black Diamond, we continue to wholeheartedly support the invaluable work carried out by the Access Fund, and actively strive to bolster its mission in any way possible. This support includes obvious aid such as monetary and product donations, but it also means getting our own hands dirty, working to make our nation’s treasured climbing more sustainable and accessible.
In addition to our many years of employee volunteer trips, last year, Black Diamond sent two of our athletes along with them—Carlo Traversi and Connor Herson. Together they laid the literal ground work, helping the Access Fund Conservation Team build a trail to the Sparks Wall in beautiful Indian Creek. Between our employees and our athlete team, BD spent 3 days building a trail system that both protects the environment and helps to ensure future access to climbing.
But it doesn't stop there. Far from it. More hours, more volunteers, and more dollars are needed to support Access Fund and their efforts to better climbing for all.
The Access Fund, our nation’s top climbing advocacy organization, leads and inspires the climbing community. From buying threatened climbing areas, to protecting public lands, to building sustainable crags, Access Fund works to protect climbing landscapes and ensure sustainable access for generations to come.
Please consider supporting the critical work they do to protect America’s climbing. Support by donating or volunteering at an Adopt-a-Crag or Trail Day event!
