For this episode, I interviewed Joe Sambataro, Access Fund’s national access director and Northwest regional director, and Andy Fitz, with the Washington Climbers Coalition, to discuss stewardship success stories in the state of Washington.

About Our Host
A couple years into climbing, Peter Horgan discovered Access Fund and couldn’t believe there was an organization that was focused on education, policy, and advocacy with climbing sitting at the center of it. Since then, he co-founded the local climbing organization in the Gunnison Valley of southwest Colorado and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management to further his knowledge in conservation and advocacy. To put a megaphone to the Access Fund’s mission, he proposed the idea of hosting a podcast with the goal of connecting more climbers to the advocacy work that is being done on a daily basis countrywide.
