Read ACAT's 2024 Annual Report

It has been another eventful year, with ACAT continuing to support, facilitate, and occasionally lead access efforts around Aotearoa New Zealand. We have contributed to many community-driven projects this year, including at Pakeho, the Castle Hill Basin crags, the Darrans, and many other important crags.
