About this Episode

This episode features a conversation with Access Fund Texas Regional Director Brian Tickle and Texas Climbers Coalition President Adam Mitchell. We discussed all things Texas and confirmed that there is much more climbing than just Hueco Tanks. These guys have a lot going on down south and have for a long time. The recent acquisition of the Medicine Wall outside San Antonio is just one example of the great climbing in Texas. They are working hard to continue the fight for climbing in Texas and have some big plans for the coming years.

Enjoy!

About Our Host

A couple years into climbing, Peter 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 pursued a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management to further his knowledge in conservation and advocacy. Eventually, he took notice that there were a lot of climbing podcasts out there but nothing that focused solely on advocacy. That’s when he decided to propose the idea of hosting a podcast with the goal of connecting more climbers to the advocacy work that is being done beyond the crag.
