Give a Belay, Get a Belay What can 25,000 members do to support each other? How many fellow members can we support in this time of crisis? We've built a map that offers a network for AAC members who are part of the at-risk population, or are currently quarantined at home due to COVID-19 illness, to get a belay (a grocery run, a pharmacy stop, etc.) from fellow members in the area with the capacity to help. Let’s give fellow climbers a soft catch, the way we do in the mountains or at the crag. Give a Belay What The AAC Leadership Team Is Reading Now Need some new reading material?

We don’t have to share a rope to share the stoke — climb on into the Clubhouse!

Each month, an AAJ editor interviews a world-class climber just back from a wild new route or expedition. Listen Climbers For Climate It is time that we address this direct threat to the climbing community and engage in coordinated action to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Failure to act with urgency threatens important alpine environments which support our community. We are committed to taking action on climate change. Join us in the fight. Take Action
