Stop the Bolt Prohibition

The National Park Service and US Forest Service have released draft policies that would prohibit fixed anchors - bolts, pitons, and slings - in America's Wilderness areas. This is a huge blow to climbers that not only threatens America's climbing legacy, but puts the safety of our community at risk.

Take Action: the comment period for NPS policies has been extended to January 30th. Take 5 minutes to write the NPS through their respective portals. Access Fund has made the process easy, with comments to get your started. Personalized comments are best, so share those too!
