Our Mission

The Ontario Alliance of Climbers is an independent provincial, volunteer non-profit organization that works diligently to keep climbing and bouldering areas open.

The Bolt Fund is Live!

The OAC Bolt Replacement Fund assists route developers with the costs associated with replacing aged or worn out fixed hardware. Bolts and anchors may show wear, rust or damage after prolonged use and exposure. Replacing this gear is vital to improve climber safety and accessibility.

Congratulations, climbers! The Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has heard your voices. Thanks to your letters and advocacy, they are proposing an amendment to the Devil’s Glen Provincial Park Management Plan that would formally recognize rock climbing at DG.

This is a massive milestone and a direct result of our collective action. You did this. Let’s celebrate — but more importantly, let’s finish the job.

The proposed amendment is open for public comment. Supportive comments are a vital part of the approval process. We need every climber to act now.
