We support locally led climbing organizations through gear, grants, and leadership development

The Global Climbing Initiative works alongside locally led climbing organizations in under-resourced contexts, sharing the tools to strengthen safety, expand access, create economic opportunity, and improve physical and mental wellbeing.

We are working together to create:

• Sustainable, locally-led climbing tourism for rural communities

• Access and leadership opportunities for women, youth, and people with disabilities

• Land stewardship and protection of the natural places we love

Together, we are equipping climbing communities worldwide with the knowledge and resources to thrive.

We move funding and resources directly to climbing organizations building safety, access, and opportunity in their own communities.
