Mountain Project

Mountain Project is a brand that focuses on promoting and protecting climbing in the state of Arkansas. They are passionate advocates for preserving the natural beauty of the state and ensuring long-term access to climbing routes. Arkansas, known as an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, offers a wide range of recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, kayaking, and, of course, climbing.

With countless high-quality sandstone cliffs scattered throughout the state, climbers in Arkansas have a lifetime's worth of routes to explore. As the state continues to develop its recreation economy, it is becoming a popular destination for climbers of all skill levels. Mountain Project takes a proactive approach to protecting climbing areas by working with stakeholders and developing smart climbing management strategies.

They collaborate with organizations like the Access Fund and local climbers to secure conservation easements and advocate for sustainable climbing policies. Through their efforts, Mountain Project has successfully partnered with state and local government officials to revamp climbing policies and open up new climbing opportunities in state parks. They also work with non-traditional partners to establish sustainable access to new crags.

One such project is the opening of Fitzgerald South, where Mountain Project has worked with Trailblazers, Arkansas Climbers Coalition, and Access Fund to design and build climbing routes and sustainable access points. This initiative serves as a model for future climbing areas and demonstrates how collaboration can create lasting impact. Arkansas is now becoming a case study for protecting America's climbing, with Mountain Project at the forefront of this movement.

With their dedication to preserving natural landscapes and ensuring long-term access, Mountain Project is truly making a difference in the climbing community
