About this episode

The episode discusses climbing management proposals for federal lands with guest Erik Murdock from the Access Fund.

Erik Murdock is the deputy director at the Access Fund, climbing’s national advocacy organization. Today we’re encouraging climbers to submit their comments on the climbing management proposals for federal lands. Check out the show notes for all the links. But first, the show’s ailing hosts navigate a new world order of safe space climbing, from the local choss heap to one of the most iconic piece of granite in the country. The final bit is a song titled Odds of Dawn, written and performed by our super talented friend Andy Mann, a National Geographic photographer, director, musician, and climber.  Show Notes Access Fund:  https://www.accessfund.org Write your comment here :  https://www.accessfund.org/action-alerts/action-alert-help-secure-the-future-of-americas-climbing Super hot enormo-foot:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ5DCLMFebO/?img_index=1 Andy Mann:  https://www.instagram.com/andy_mann/   https://www.andymann.com Become a RunOut Rope Gun!  Support our podcast and increase your RunOut runtime.
