Donations

Unfortunately running this site costs. If you find this site useful please consider donationg to help keep it going.

If you don’t want to donate to the site but would like to donate to the local climbing community consider donating and note that you want the donation to go to hardware and what area you would like to see it used at. I know that Matt TeNgaio has a new wall upstram from the South Park wall that could use some gear. Dean Lords is always putting up routes and I am sure he would welcome a donation for hardware. Finally, Massacre Rocks can always use new gear.

There is a PayPal donation button at the bottom of this page. If you don’t have a PayPal account, no problem, the PayPal system will accept your credit/debit card as well.
