ACE's Fundraising Efforts
Historically, the funds raised by ACE have come almost exclusively from the climbing
community and its supporters. ACE's mission is to represent climber's interests in
Eldorado and to conserve the Eldorado climbing experience. Pursuant to our mission,
ACE spends the funds it raises in ways that benefit the climbing community, mitigate
the impacts of recreational use in Eldorado, and conserve the Eldorado climbing experience.
Other recreational user groups, such as hikers, picnickers and bikers, also benefit
from the funds ACE has raised and the work accomplished, but ACE's main focus is to
represent the local climbing community. Since 1996, ACE has taken primary responsibility
for funding the Eldorado Trails Project. ACE also funds other projects that ACE deems
to be appropriate for the welfare of the climbing community and the Park. A recent
survey completed by over 140 climbers established that the vast majority of the climbing
community supports ACE's efforts on trail maintenance, ACE's support of the Trails
Project, ACE's continued efforts at replacing eroding fixed hardware throughout the
Park, and numerous other future projects.
