    Access FundA
    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. https://www.accessfund.org/latest-news/breaking-black-diamond-is-matching-all-donations-to-secure-climbings-future

The year was 1995 and it happened as it always happened then: a friend played me some Dead tunes, and then I made a tape recording of the ones I liked.  I played Uncle John’s Band, over and over again, entranced by… https://climbingzine.com/unbroken-chain-a-letter-for-phil-lesh-by-luke-mehall/

Stapled, folded, printed in black and white, with a poor font and a quick-to-mellow yellowish cover of a slightly higher poundage of press that, nevertheless, tended to feature a look like they… https://climbingzine.com/comin-in-from-the-top-by-chris-schulte/
