Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition

In 1996 the Forest Service issued for the first time ever a Rock Climbing Management Guide for the Red River area.

The Coalition has also expanded its efforts to include working with the Natural Bridge State Park, and many local private land owners as well.

[citation needed] On February 7, 2000, the Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition and the U.S. Forest Service signed a Memorandum of Understanding.

This land, now open to the public, is a commitment to preserving and sustaining climbing access in the Red River Gorge indefinitely.
