New smartphone app for climbers from the Access Fund

The Access Fund, the national advocacy organization that keeps climbing areas open and conserves the climbing environment has just released a pretty cool new smart phone application.

The free application serves up breaking news from the climbing world—including the latest Access Fund news—in one convenient location for smart phone users. The app is available on both the iPhone® and Android® platforms and will allow users to browse news feeds from their favorite climbing media outlets, including Alpinist Magazine, Climbing Magazine, Rock & Ice Magazine, Dead Point Magazine, Urban Climber Magazine, the American Alpine Club, and other sources so users are always plugged in to the freshest content in the climbing world.

The apps also allow users to browse the latest in local and national climbing access news from the Access Fund. Optional push notifications allow the Access Fund to notify users when there is a critical access issue that they could help influence through one of the organization’s
advocacy programs.

The apps can be downloaded through the Apple Store and the Android Market. For more information, visit accessfund.org/apps.
