Just a few thoughts
Congrats to all the athletes, routesetters, and volunteers that convened in Austin last week for Team Trials and Paraclimbing Nationals! Nice way to open a new gym. In other news, a bi-partisan bill in Congress has been introduced to protect climbing in federal Wilderness areas. It’s the first climbing-specific national-level bill ever proposed. We hope it passes and protects access to these areas for future generations. Good work Access Fund!
