The Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest is back!
This year the annual silent auction, which has been a mainstay of Ice Fest, is moving online to help facilitate social distancing and provide as many people as possible with the opportunity to participate. Since 2018, the Access Fund has been the non-profit beneficiary of the auction and we're excited to be back in 2022!
Since we all last saw each other in 2020, Access Fund has been busy spearheading the stewardship of climbing areas in the Northeast and across the U.S. We've also been busy helping with the acquisition of numerous climbing areas including Antlion Crag in the Gunks, and Hanging Mountain in S.W. Massachusetts. As we continue to see unprecedented growth in climbing and outdoor recreation in general the work of the Access Fund has never been more important. All money raised through the silent auction will go directly to Access Fund's efforts to keep climbing areas open and conserve the climbing environment across the United States.
