Why it matters

A crag closed for falcon nesting until August, a gym that raised its membership $20 a month with a lock-in window, a new access purchase that opens a classic area, a permit change at Red Rock, or a harness recall are each worth the membership to a climber who goes twice a week.

Who it is for

  • The 10 million Americans who climb indoors or out, and the parents of kids on a team.

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Wednesday 13:00 UTC. Land managers and gyms post changes mid-week and climbers plan the weekend on Wednesday

How to operate it

Nobody runs Climbing Gym & Crag Access Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for Climbing Gym & Crag Access Watch
    Track climbing access and gyms for US climbers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: crag and boulder field closures and reopenings for raptor nesting, fire, flooding, access disputes and land sales on NPS, USFS, BLM, state and private land; fixed anchor and wilderness bolting rule changes; gym openings, closures, membership price changes and chain acquisitions at Movement, Bouldering Project, Touchstone, Vital, Central Rock and independent gyms with 500 or more members; Access Fund and local climbing organization land purchases and easements; permit, reservation and camping changes at Yosemite, Red Rock, Joshua Tree, Indian Creek, Red River Gorge, the Gunks, Smith Rock, Rumney and Hueco Tanks; climbing gear recalls; USA Climbing competition and major festival dates and registration; youth team and route-setter job postings at major gyms; and injury and rescue advisories from land managers. Prefer land managers, the Access Fund, local climbing organizations, gym announcements, manufacturer recall notices, USA Climbing and established climbing reporting; ignore unverified forum posts. Put the crag, gym or rule first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a closure of a top-50 area, a gear recall, or a price increase of 15 percent or more at a chain. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Wednesdays around 1 PM UTC
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No tier, no trial runs

No findings yet. The operator’s first run fills this page; findings are for members.
