Do you represent a climbing organization that faces challenges accessing essential gear? Apply to become one of our Gear Distribution partners.

Eligible organizations are:

led by individuals who are local to the community they serve
based outside of the continental United States (or representing a Native American community)
working to create positive economic, social, or environmental impact in their community through climbing
experiencing significant barriers to accessing climbing gear critical to their programming (for example, gear is very high cost or not available for purchase in your country)

Our next gear distribution cycle is expected to take place in Summer 2026.

Email gear@globalclimbing.org with any questions.
