The Red is known for steep routes that lend themselves to safe falls. Part of keeping these falls safe, though, is replacing the 15-20 year-old bolts that have been there nearly as long as sport climbing has been at the Red. A few of us who whip on these bolts regularly are getting together for a Rebolt the Red Day on Sunday, August 12th, and Team Suck Climbing has generously donated a large portion of the gear we're going to be using. This is a shout-out (unsolicited by Team Suck, because they're pretty quiet and humble, considering all the work they do for the Red) just to see if there's anyone out there in the nationwide climbing community who wouldn't mind throwing a couple bucks their way as a thank you. If you're willing, thank you! :)

Which climbs are being rebolted?

Our list of crags that need some love is:

Left Flank
Military Wall
Eastern Sky Bridge Ridge
Pebble Beach
Pistol Ridge
Long Wall
Tower Rock
Emerald City
Global Village
Phantasia Wall
The Zoo
Bob Marley
Drive By

Our more specific list of routes we'll be focusing on that day, since we only have a couple small teams getting out, is:

Global Village
- Disappearer
- Loosen Up
- Casual Viewing (anchors)

Tower Rock (all anchors)
- Africa
- Arachnid
- Curving Crack

Long Wall
- Game Boy (remove old bolts)

Eastern Sky Bridge Ridge
- King Me (new first bolt)
- Pogue Ethics (remove old first bolt)

I would possibly be interested in doing some work and buying a little hardware. I'm trying to gather a partner for some climbing that weekend but I'm not sure if it will work out. But I'm open to make the trip for some rebolting. If you want me on board, keep me posted.
