Chances are, without knowing it, you’ve climbed in an area that Access Fund has protected and kept accessible for climbers. With regionally significant successes as the Jailhouse Rock Conservation Easement of 2010, Access Fund has been hard at work keeping the gates open to our favorite crags. This is no easy task, and as with most organizations of this nature, raising money can be a daunting task. That’s why Berkeley Ironworks is calling November ‘Access Fund Month’ with a goal of raising $10,000.
We know, it sounds tough.
If you’ve been to BIW recently, you may have noticed some tables near the front desk. They represent three ways you can donate to our Access Fund Month’ AND get a little sumptin’-sumptin’ in return. Here’s what they’ve got going on:
HOLDS TABLE:
The Touchstone Climbing routesetters are parting with old grips, and our loss is your gain! You won’t find a better or cheaper way to get SWEET holds for your home climbing wall.
RAFFLE TABLE:
Did we catch your eye with the amazing goodies on this table? Donate a mere $5/ticket to get a chance to win, win, WIN!

SILENT AUCTION (last, but not least): Have you seen these faces? Of course you have. They want to climb with YOU! They really, really do. For a small/medium/big bid, you can experience the rare opportunity to climb with a literal ‘rock star’ and have him/her share their almighty technical advice. Athletes include Alex Honnold, Beth Rodden, Joe Kinder, and Ethan Pringle!
Get it while you can! Remember, this all goes towards an organization that keeps the future of climbing alive! Bidding ends December 1st!
