As our way of thanking you for your contribution to the YCA mission, members receive a number of discounts and benefits. More importantly, as a part of the YCA support community, members help ensure that the history of the critical role Yosemite played in the development of big wall climbing and the innovations in equipment that helped spur the clean climbing movement are preserved for generations to come.
With an archive of over 10,000 artifacts, YCA interprets the history of climbing through exhibits at the Yosemite Climbing Museum in Mariposa, CA and in the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. Members help keep the doors open.
Members contribute to YCA's ability to engage in advocacy and partnership with land use managers and local climbing organizations to help shape today's policies and best practices amongst the climbing community.
Your support of Facelift® stewardship events and our Gym to Crag Education Program, helps ensure future access to climbing areas, with the knowledge that caring for the lands we use reduces the need for regulation and use limits.
