Please take a few minutes to participate in the 2026 National Climber Survey by Access Fund.

This survey is an important effort to better understand climbers across the country -- how you see yourselves, what you value, how you think about stewardship, conservation, and advocacy, and the role that national and local climbing advocacy organizations play in protecting YOUR interests. The insights will directly inform how Access Fund can better serve and support our community in the years ahead.

Accepting responses until April 17 - visit Access Fund bio for survey link!
