Access Fund was founded in 1991 to protect America’s climbing. We’ve made so much progress on that front—from passing bills in Congress to buying threatened climbing areas to building sustainable trails—but our work is not done. In fact, it’s just as important as ever.

Giornata di arrampicata stupenda, ieri a Sperlonga. Lontano dalla folla, abbiamo scelto una via lunga di cinque tiri su una roccia magnifica. Dobbiamo ricordarci di portare attrezzi per pulire la via dalla vegetazione, la prossima volta. Soprattutto alcune pianticelle con piccoli spini decisamente scomodi se poi devi usare le dita per infilarle in buchi e fessure.
Temperature da bagno.

I made myself a very simple rope bag for #climbing

I kind of yolo’ed the design using scraps and leftovers. It’s made from only two, rectangular pieces of fabric. A lightweight ripstop nylon makes an inner bag, and a heavy backpack fabric wraps around to protect the lightweight inner bag during transport. The white belts are sewn as webbing so it can be attached to other bags for carrying, though right now I just put a piece of ribbon on as a handle.
