Support nationwide bolt and anchor replacement!

Please donate! The American Safe Climbing Association is the USA’s only national-level organization that focuses solely on maintaining fixed hardware at our climbing areas. We supply individuals and nonprofits around the country who replace old, dangerous bolts and anchors. We have provided over 65,000 bolts for replacement nationwide, and odds are if you visit any climbing area with bolts that have been replaced, you have clipped ASCA hardware. In 2023, we've supplied 6,590 bolts and 3,394 anchor sets to local groups and individual stewards in 27 states! All of this hardware isn't cheap, please help us out and donate today! Donations will be matched through the end of the month (up to $40,000), thanks to matching funds provided by Movement climbing gyms, Chris & Tor McNamara, The Lightner Sams Foundation of Wyoming, and Matt Enlow. Donate today! |

[[]] Greg and his team are awesome! If you don’t have the skills or time to improve or replace fixed hardware, please donate so others can. All these mussy hooks eventually found homes on popular routes at three different crags in Northern Arizona. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… the ASCA and the Access Fund are our two greatest allies. The era of maintenance that looms before us is no joke, and the ASCA has been diving into the issue and offering support for decades. Thank you Greg and ASCA! |

+1 for the ASCA making it easy to get hardware for the rebolting work we desperately need here in the PNW. If you like clipping confidence inspiring hardware, chip in! |

Christmas morning bump! |

The ACSA funds new bolts, hardware, and lower offs in Indian Creek as well. We’ve been swapping tat for chains, replacing old leeper hangers, replacing SMC death hangers, cleaning up anchors, patching holes, and adding lower offs. Please donate. |

Even 5 dollars will help to replace all this junk. And everyone has at least 5 dollars to spare. Help out the ASCA today. |

Just donated. Thanks ASCA!! |

Everyone should check out @Willsewforbolts on Instagram. Reach out to him on there. You donate directly to ASCA, send him the receipt, and for that simple act he will send you sweet products made from recycled rope! The speed slings are super slick! |

Bump - please donate today to help replace bolts like this one, replaced this year at Shelf (Nate Liles photo): |

We replaced this one on a 50' single pitch in Indian Creek with hardware supplied by the ASCA https://www.mountainproject.com/route/122145876/fallout-zone. |

Please donate so that bolts like this one found at a high use anchor in Joshua Tree can continue to be replaced. Thus far in the last 71/2 years the Joshua Tree Bolt Replacement Project has replaced over 1700 bolts throughout the Park. Almost all of the hardware and related gear has been provided by the ASCA! |

Bump! We have quite a ways to go to meet our match and not much time to get there. Support our bolt replacement work across the country in 2024. Every bit counts but we need more climbers to chip in.

from first hand experience and hundreds of bolts received from the asca for many rebolting projects i can say wholeheartedly that greg is one of the good guys! in case you ever wondered where those nice shiny bolts on old tuolumne routes come from: if the NPS/NFS have their way, this type of (volunteer) rebolting work will require a permit, which may or may not be granted... |
