    At the AAC, we believe in the power of climbing to change lives. We are driven by the potential to support every climber that we can, to use the AAC’s expertise and legacy to deliver resources that climbers can lean on—that’s why we are so proud of this Impact Report. Each grant recipient we inspired, each lodging guest we launched into adventure, each climber who has learned how to climb a little more safely, is what drives our work. How does it all break down? Here’s how we’ve met the needs of the AAC community this year. https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2024/11/5/aacs-2024-impact-report

But the reality is that most of the places where we climb require some kind of personal vehicle to get there. https://www.accessfund.org/latest-news/we-saved-paradise-and-put-up-a-parking-lot
