Our work encompasses all the major climbing disciplines.

    Access Issues
    In addition to access information provided under News, the SAS seeks to provide background information on a variety of access related issues. In this section of the website we endeavour to provide that information in as objective a manner as possible. We hope it will serve to inform our members with some context on ongoing and past issues.
