Overview

Mission

Climbers Alliance is a coordinated effort among volunteers in our local climbing community to make our crags better through whatever efforts and jobs need to be done. We want to ensure that our crags are not only open and accessible to climbing, but also stay beautiful and well-kept. To that end, our efforts will be aimed at identifying any possible problems that will affect climbing in Southcentral Alaska, and then addressing and resolving those problems.

What it reported doing in 2025

Crag Clean up and trail work. Cleaned crags along the Seward highway and Hatcher Pass. Also improved trails and and landings at the base of climbs. This impacted hundreds of climbers who use these cliffs.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
