Collaboration
The Collaboration branch of EC3 is focused on fostering partnerships that ensure sustainable access to climbing areas. By working with private landowners, public agencies, and key organizations, we strive to protect and maintain open spaces for climbers. Our efforts include developing access plans, advocating for public land protections, and creating policies that benefit the climbing community. Through these collaborations, we ensure that climbers can continue to enjoy these spaces responsibly for generations to come.

Agency Collaboration
Collaborating with public land agencies like the Forest Service, BLM, and local authorities, we help develop and implement access plans that maintain open spaces for climbers. Together, we work to manage climber impact, reduce environmental degradation, and ensure that these areas remain open and protected for future generations.
Conservation Alliances
EC3 partners with organizations such as the Access Fund, ASCA, and various conservation groups to secure climbing areas and promote sustainable practices. These partnerships help us support regional and national initiatives that protect climbing access while also ensuring responsible stewardship of our natural resources.
Landowner Partnerships
We work closely with private landowners to ensure climbers have access to key areas while addressing the landowners' concerns. By fostering positive relationships and promoting responsible land use, we aim to create long-lasting partnerships that benefit both the climbing community and landowners, ensuring sustainable access for everyone.
Advocacy and Policy
Our advocacy efforts include lobbying for public land protections, collaborating on access policies, and ensuring the climbing community’s voice is heard in local, state, and national decision-making. We work with policymakers and stakeholders to secure sustainable access while advocating for the protection of natural climbing areas.
