Since 1998, the ASCA has supplied over 75,000 bolts and 40,000 rappel/lower off anchors for maintenance work on popular rock climbs.
Why support the ASCA?
As our cliffs are receiving more traffic from climbers than ever before, the bolts that we trust our life to are aging. We need to maintain this hardware in a coordinated and informed way. ASCA rebolters have the time, experience, and desire to replace many more bolts with the help of your donation.
The lower off initiative.
Our mission is to equip popular single-pitch anchors in the USA and surrounding areas with sustainable, durable lower-off hardware. To date we have supplied more than 22,000 lower-offs to climbing areas in the USA and Mexico.
New hardware guidelines.
These are the ASCA universal guidelines both for new route anchors and for replacement anchors.
