Dear Paul,

Right now, we are up against one of the greatest threats to climbing access we have ever faced, and we need your help.

The sheer number of bills, executive orders, resolutions, and legislative rules that push to dispose, transfer, and diminish our public lands is unprecedented. The list of threats is growing longer every day. And with over 60% of our climbing areas located on public lands, we have a lot at stake.

Right now, our public lands policy staff is working hard to:

  • Fight legislation that would transfer our public lands to states or dispose of them entirely
  • Stop Congress from repealing regulations that protect the integrity of public lands
  • Fight legislation and executive orders that would undermine the Antiquities Act, rescinding or drastically modifying the size of National Monuments like Bears Ears
  • Stop Congress from silencing our voices on how public lands are managed
  • Prevent attacks on public land agencies that would slash budgets and limit their authority to protect lands for the American people

Our public lands system is facing death by a thousand cuts, and we must work together to protect America's public lands. This is a non-partisan issue--every climber and U.S. citizen has a stake in our public lands. And while the climbing community is politically diverse, our shared passion for climbing must unite us.

Sincerely,
Brady Sig
