The Global Climbing Initiative equips climbing communities worldwide with the knowledge and resources to thrive.

We believe that climbing can drive positive change around the globe. But access to gear, training, and financial resources is not equal everywhere, and these barriers limit who can climb and how communities can grow.

The Global Climbing Initiative partners with locally led climbing organizations creating lasting economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, and social change.

We support this work through:

• Gear access that enables safe climbing and community programs

• Grant funding that powers local visions and solutions

• Leadership and safety trainings that strengthen long-term capacity

• Best practices for the sustainable and equitable growth of climbing

We target our support toward under-resourced and historically underrepresented climbing communities, walking alongside their leaders as they shape the future of climbing in their own context.
