Every time you use your cell phone this holiday weekend, please remember that there is cost climbers and their families pay…for the connection we take for granted.
I believe in CPG’s Mission, and not because I know Doug Delaney (CPG Contributing Editor/Writer,) Tommy Schuch (CPG Founder/President) and Richard Bell (CPG Senior Industry Advisor.) Or because I designed the CPG website and am a CPG consultant on a variety of topics.
And I hope you’ll join me in supporting CPG.
CPG is for climbers, by climbers and aims to amplify climbers’ voices by exposing industry dangers, advocating for stronger safety standards and pushing for change.

WAYS TO SUPPORT CPG
If you are able to do so, please consider making a contribution to this fledgling organization through Givebutter. All contributions directly support CPG’s advocacy, safety education content, and the production of investigative documentaries and interviews that expose industry issues.
While CPG is not yet recognized as a tax-exmpt 501(c)3) by the IRS, it intends to seek federal tax-empt status in the future. Contributions to CPG are currently not tax-deductible.
Other ways to Support CPG: Support from friends, family and the general public is also needed to help CPG make change possible in the industry. No climber should ever be forced to choose between getting the job done and making it home alive. Connect with CPG on FB, INSTA and YOUTUBE and help us share our story.
