 <http://www.savedonnerclimbing.org>  <http://www.savedonnerclimbing.org/>  <http://www.savedonnerclimbing.org> Access Fund has partnered with Truckee Donner Land Trust to protect the world-class climbing on Donner Summit. 

We have signed an agreement with a private landowner to purchase 10-acres that encompass some spectacular climbing on finely textured granite. The acquisition will protect the popular and historic Black Wall, Peanut Gallery, and Road Cut climbing areas, as well as the access trail to the popular Space Wall, Shark Wall, and Grouse Slabs. The property has been privately owned since the mid-1800s, but concerns about liability have led to the current owner’s need to sell the property. 

Truckee Donner Land Trust currently holds a Purchase and Sale Agreement to fundraise and acquire the property by December. Access Fund is holding a lease agreement to assist in stewardship efforts and address liability concerns raised by the private landowners. 

The Land Trust is now calling on the community to help raise $280,000 by December 1, 2015 towards the acquisition, stewardship, and additional trailhead improvements on the 10-acre property and adjacent Land Trust land. Visit www.savedonnerclimbing.org to learn more and donate to protect this amazing climbing resource!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Access Fund
