Preserving Climbing Access

The Southeastern Climbers Coalition is a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving climbing access in the Southeast. They started in 1993 when a group of climbers banded together to help out with ongoing access issues at Sunset Rock, atop Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The group had positive results from the start and went on to sponsor cleanups and trail days of climbing areas, raise money to purchase land and to keep climbing areas open for future generations.

In addition to the SCC there is another corporation called CCC- Carolina Climbers Coalition, since 1995, the Carolina Climbers Coalition has grown and expanded. Today the CCC is a nonprofit corporation. We still hold onto the motto, preserving protecting and expanding you climbing opportunities.
