HELP SUPPORT
ILLINOIS CLIMBING

Together we can make a difference!

The Holy Boulders

The Access Fund transferred ownership of the Holy Boulders to the ICA in 2016. We repaid a $90,000 conservation loan by 2019 with your community support, preserving a highly regarded sandstone climbing area and ensuring long-term access for climbers!

HIGHLIGHTED CLIMBING AREAS

Jackson Falls

The ICA is tackling fixed anchor replacement at Jackson Falls recreation area. Aging hardware is a great safety concern for climbers. The ICA is systematically replacing anchors with new, stainless steel hardware that meet modern standards.

Ferne Clyffe State Park

 At Ferne Clyffe State Park, the ICA has worked with Illinois Department of Natural Resources to develop responsible climbing access, complete route development and maintenance, and promote conservation to protect the park’s natural resources.
