Donate to help us continue our critical NZ climbing access and advocacy work
ACAT exists to improve access to rock climbing and bouldering areas around NZ. Since we began we have worked to preserve the future of Waipari and Wharepapa Rock, gained a trial reopening for Whanganui Bay, submitted on adventure tourism, stewardship land and Milford Sound legislation, worked to allow climbing during Covid, and more.
There is still so much more to do – access is threatened or prohibited at many crags around NZ. We are working on it! Starting a regular donation now is the best way you can help us keep going.
Help us out, donate!
