To quote ZZ Top, they're bad and they're nationwide. Sketchy and dangerous 1/4" bolts are everywhere and the ASCA goal is to replace as many of them as possible with secure anchors. We list here routes that the ASCA has upgraded with over 6300 bolts to date. Help the ASCA prioritize which routes to rebolt! Send your suggestions to greg@safeclimbing.org. Please include the climbing area, route name, approximate number of bolts that need to be replaced, and the date when you saw the poor anchor.
