Climb PA

The Local Climbing Organizations (LCO) of Pennsylvania are united in our efforts surrounding conversation, stewardship and advocacy for climbing in PA. We have open lines of communication across the state to help support one another as well as to tackle any issues that arise. We also work together with our land managers sustain and increase access, build climbing policy and maintain our outdoor spaces.

When a local climbing access issue occurs, the first and best line of defense is almost always the local climbers who are familiar with the area and the issues. A critical piece of Access Fund’s work is encouraging, organizing, and empowering local climbers to join together into local climbing organizations. Today, Access Fund works with more than 120 local climbing organizations across the country.
