The Access Fund's fifth annual nationwide Adopt-a-Crag program surpassed its goal of 89 events around the country. Adopt-a-Crag began in 2000 as part of the Access Fund's 10th anniversary celebration. Since its inception, Adopt-a-Crag has drawn together thousands of volunteers for over 200 events. Through Adopt-a-Crag events, climbers have built and restored hundreds of miles of trails, hauled thousands of bags of trash, and completed multiple conservation initiatives.
Adopt-a-Crag is the Access Fund's signature event, a national commitment by the climbing community to natural resource stewardship and volunteerism. Title Sponsor Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), Presenting Sponsor W.L. Gore, and Supporting Sponsor Clif Bar are the Access Fund's partners in presenting this event.
