Ever wondered who replaces the old bolts on the routes you climb every day — and how it gets done? This clinic goes beyond discussion and into action. Join ASCA Development Director Nate Liles and professional climber Jonathan Siegrist to rebolt an actual climbing route from start to finish. You'll learn about hardware types, bolt placement techniques, stewardship ethics, and the collaborative work required to keep climbing areas safe and sustainable for future generations. You'll leave with practical knowledge, hands-on experience, and a firsthand appreciation for the volunteers who quietly care for our crags.
Skill Level: Lead climbing proficiency and basic anchor building required; no prior bolting experience necessary.
