The Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance of Climbers is dedicated to promoting education, safeguarding access, building community, and preserving our natural lands for rock climbers of the past, present, and future. EPAC is an Access Fund affiliated Local Climbing Organization (LCO). EPAC seeks to educate as well as partner with climbers and land managers in regards to responsible climbing practices, sustainable trail building, risk management strategies, natural resource management and many other aspects related to being good stewards of our lands. While our main focus may be on the activity of climbing, we recognize that climbers share the land with other user groups. Therefore, EPAC hopes to join with other organizations and/or provide support for their conservation efforts as well.

My focus is climate change. I give a (usually 40 minute) Powerpoint presentation about the state-of-the-art climate science and effects that climate change is doing to the planet. My presentation facts are based on reports from NASSA, NOAA, the Snow & Ice Data Center to mention a few. I work hard to dispel the fake science that is based upon ideological hearsay, not science. To date, I have given 251 presentations including at the COP-15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, the United Nations in New York, many colleges, schools, churches, conservation organizations, Earth Day events and television shows.
