Access Fund 35th Birthday Community Festival
- When
- Sat, Sep 26 · 3 PM - 10 PM
- Where
- Improper City, Denver
- Price
- $30 after party general admission; day portion free for Movement members, day pass on site for everyone else
Access Fund is the national nonprofit that works on climbing access and conservation, and it turns 35 this year. The birthday is a public party rather than a donor dinner, split across two RiNo rooms on the same Saturday, with the daytime half built around climbing instead of speeches.
The 3 to 6 PM block runs at Movement RiNo: clinics with pro athletes, climbing games and challenges, and educational sessions on climbing conservation. That portion is free for Movement members, and day passes are sold on site for everyone else.
