Report a Climbing Hardware or Route Maintenance Issue

Report a Hardware or Maintenance Issue

Help the ASCA and local climbing stewards identify fixed-hardware concerns and maintenance needs. Please provide as much detail as you can. If possible, include photos to help us understand the issue.

1. What are you reporting?
2. Where is the issue?
GPS location (optional)

If you allow location access, we'll attach your coordinates to this report. Your location is only captured when you press the button.

3. Tell us about the issue

If you aren't sure what type of hardware it is, choose “Unknown.”

What is the issue? *

Select all that apply.

Use “Critical” only for an immediate, serious safety concern. This is a preliminary report, not a verified assessment.

4. Photos

Photos are helpful for identifying the hardware and finding the location. Please avoid including identifiable people unless they have agreed.

5. Your information

If you request follow-up, please provide an email address.

Reports are reviewed by the ASCA and/or local stewards. Submission does not mean the hardware has been inspected or confirmed unsafe. If you believe a route or anchor presents an immediate danger, avoid using it and notify other climbers in the area also.
