Our Mission Statement
The Central Wyoming Climbers’ Alliance (WyoClimbers) mission is dedicated to protecting climbing access and resources for today in order to preserve them for tomorrow. Our mission is three-fold:
PROTECT access to climbing areas through working with land managers/owners to build a cooperative management plan that maintains and preserves our climbing areas and trails.
EDUCATE climbers by providing access to services that introduces them to ethics and their role as environmental stewards while showing them the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of climbing.
CELEBRATE climbing and the supporting community by organizing events like the annual International Climbers' Festival
WyoClimbers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting climbing in the central Wyoming region. Our work is made possible through volunteer hours, local and state grants, collaboration with local land managers, and the generous donations from people like you.
THE International Climbers’ Festival

Why Rock Climbing?
A Recent Study Shows that Rock Climbers Bring $4.5 million Each Year into Lander’s Economy
A study funded by a grant from the Access Fund and conducted by researchers from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) concluded that rock climbers bring $4.5 million each year into Lander’s economy. To continue this economic drive requires continued access to the world-class rock climbing areas that surround the town of Lander and sustainable access to Lander area rock climbing is of significant economic value to local businesses and jobs.
Climbing is more than a recreation. In Lander, it’s also a driving force for the economy which is why access and the work of WyoClimbers is important.
