National Reach, Local Outreach 

The Southwest Oregon Climbers’ Coalition is an Oregon 501c3 non-profit that works with the Access Fund.

Roughly, our organization covers the area bounded on the north by the Roseburg area, the east by Crater Lake, the south by Medford/Ashland, and the west by the coast.

Our website serves to keep local (and visiting) climbers updated on route development, access issues (such as raptor closures), and quarterly meetings.
