The Southwestern Pennsylvania Climbers Coalition (SWPACC) exists to promote the responsible development of climbing and bouldering in southwestern Pennsylvania, to disseminate information about development and conservation of the resource, and to gain and preserve access.
SWPACC is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making your donations eligible for tax deductions.
You make your Local Climbing Organization better.
Become a joint member through the Access Fund to show your dedication and stay connected to our work!
One-time and recurring donations support ongoing maintenance, operation costs, and ensure that we have the resources to pursue and secure access to our climbing areas for the foreseeable future.
There are many ways to volunteer your time, energy, and expertise to serve SWPACC’s mission, including serving on the board, joining a committee, and showing up at events and workdays.
SWPACC’s newsletter intends to inform and organize our community. Social media is great for getting the word out, but the newsletter should be your gold standard for important information.
