Our Mission

The Wisconsin Climbers Association is a collective group of advocates whose mission is to serve as a voice for Wisconsin climbers. We also partner with Access Fund serving as a local climbing organization for the state of Wisconsin. Together we foster connections within the community and address access issues while promoting stewardship of the land.
