Supporting Stewardship And Access For Climbing In Southwest Oregon

SWOCC works with local climbers, organizations and stakeholders to ensure access to local climbing walls. Our on-the-ground efforts focus on stewardship and low-impact conservation.

 

 

National Reach, Local Outreach 

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

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