Open Door Program
The Open Door Program is a tool for growing and serving the climbing community across all demographics. This program is a community wide effort to make climbing accessible and to cultivate a climbing community that reflects the diversity of the geographic regions we serve. We feel that is best accomplished through reducing as many barriers to climbing as possible, one of those being financial.
Offering a program like this requires the entire community to believe in it for it to be sustainable. This belief includes honesty and trust about true financial need. Additionally, the ability to offer this program is limited and depends on community supporters (Door Openers). We can’t do it without you.

Our Community Makes a Difference 💙🧗♂️
As we share this Giving Tuesday message from @accessfund , we want to highlight what you—our community—have already done.
Through our $1 for Access initiative, climbers at our gyms have contributed $7,694 in 2025 alone, and since starting the program in 2014, together we’ve donated over $142,000 to protect climbing access across the country.
Thank you for helping keep the places we love to climb open and cared for. Let’s continue that impact this Giving Tuesday.
