The Freedom to Climb is Not Free...
The Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition has worked for the last twenty-five years to secure access to the treasured cliff lines found on National Forest and private land in Eastern Kentucky. From the initial historic PMRP purchase in 2004, to the Miller Fork acquisition in 2013, and the most recent Bald Rock addition in 2017, the RRGCC continues to secure and conserve rock climbing in the Red River Gorge region. In addition to land acquisition, the RRGCC has worked tirelessly on property infrastructure and management, along with education of new climbers through stewardship presentations and ethics reminders. To continue upkeep of our roads, trails and bridges, make required mortgage payments, secure new land, educate climbers, and push to make climbing more accessible to everyone, the RRGCC has a combined operational & capital budget of $100,000 for 2022.
