climbing">rock climbing</a> advocacy group in the US. Their goals are twofold. First, keeping climbing areas open and gaining access to currently closed climbing areas. Second, they promote an ethic of responsible climbing and conservation of the climbing environment. The Access Fund was originally the access committee of the <a href="/wiki/American_Alpine_Club" title="American Alpine Club">American Alpine Club</a> and was created as the climbing community realized the need for an organization to represent climbing and climbers' rights in the US.<sup id="cite_ref-fields_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fields-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Access Fund became its own <a href="/wiki/501(c)_organization" title="501(c) organization">501(c)3 organization</a> in 1991. The organization is based out of <a href="/wiki/Boulder,_Colorado" title="Boulder, Colorado">Boulder, Colorado</a> and has a small full-time staff.
