Community

Climb On is proud to be a part of the growing climbing community. We support local organizations and individuals that work towards the betterment of the community as a whole. The work of these organizations can be seen everywhere from solving access issues, representing climbers at a government level, building trails, developing routes, sharing climbing knowledge to helping diversify the sport as a whole. We are proud to call the following organizations below, Friends of Climb On Equipment. We encourage you to support our friends and work towards a community that supports and lifts up all those involved.

Friends of Climb On Equipment

The Squamish Access Society

SAS is a volunteer organization committed to advocating for respectful stewardship of the cliffs and crags within the Sea to Sky region. They rely on membership and donations to advocate on your behalf; to keep and gain access to the finite climbing areas. SAS retro bolts older lines that are in need of upkeep and maintenance; to keep us safe at the crags we love.

Sea to Sky Route Development Fund

This grassroots, non-profit supports the Sea to Sky Route Development Fund - a Go Fund Me initiative supporting local route developers. Their purpose is to act as a central database for new route information - a place to come for the latest, freshly cleaned routes and topos for recently developed crags which anyone can access and use as they see fit.

Climbers' Access Society of British Columbia

CASBC is the provincial body exclusively dedicated to promoting and gaining access to the crags, cliffs and boulders of BC. Please add your voice by becoming a member today; increased CASBC membership brings more influence to bear upon access issues important to the climbing community.

Black Sheep Adventure Sports

Black Sheep Adventure Sports are local gear-heads and guides who have combined to offer independent reviews on mountain equipment and independent guiding experiences.
