Climbers for Public Lands

Our public lands, home to 60% of climbing in this country, are under attack.
What started out in 2015 as blatant attempts to sell off public lands to private interests has evolved into a more covert attack on the systems and laws that protect these lands. This collection of sneaky leadership appointments, subtle policy changes, big budget cuts, and arcane rule changes are leaving our public land exposed. When you take a step back to look at the big picture, it’s clear that there’s a dangerous agenda unfolding that is quickly eroding our public lands system. But the tide is beginning to turn—advocates like you are speaking up and Congress is listening and making progress in protecting our public lands.
