Launching the Bolt Fund Initiative & New Report a Bad Bolt Form

By June 12, 2025No Comments

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of the OAC Bolt Fund!

This exciting new initiative is designed to directly support the incredible route developers who work tirelessly to keep our outdoor climbing areas safe and sustainable.

The Bolt Fund will help cover the costs of replacing old or worn-out bolts and anchors, ensuring the longevity of our favourite climbs.

How you can get involved:

Are you a route developer? Learn how to apply for reimbursement for your essential gear by reading our Bolt Fund Initiative Overview. We’re also launching a new way for you to Report Bad Bolts! If you see hardware on a route that needs some attention, and feel ill equipped to remedy it yourself, report it to us!

🤝 Love safe climbing? Consider becoming an OAC annual member or donate directly to support this important initiative.

Let’s work together to protect our climbing future!
