Outdoors, indoors, mountains, boulders, and everything in between, your opinion matters!
NZAC and ACAT are reviewing how climbing is supported in Aotearoa New Zealand.
They want to understand what climbers value, what issues matter most, what support and services are missing, and how climbing organisations can better meet the needs of today’s climbing community.
The results will help inform future priorities, investment, advocacy, access work, education programmes, and community initiatives.
Visit acat.org.nz/survey or alpineclub.org.nz/survey to fill in the survey.
Thank you for supporting the future of climbing in Aotearoa!
