ambassadors
In 2003 the Access Fund launched the Athlete Ambassador Team, a core of professional climbers who will publicly represent the Access Fund and reinforce its mission of keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment. These athletes are leaders in the climbing world and provide a crucial link between the Access Fund and the greater climbing community.
Each of these climbers has demonstrated a willingness to endorse the Access Fund at their slide shows and events, and has expressed a commitment to preserving America’s diverse climbing resources.
Click on each ambassador to learn more about their climbing accomplishments and why they support the Access Fund. We’ve listed the ambassadors’ sponsors if they are an Access Fund corporate sponsor.
