Our Mission is to provide educational opportunities, climbing experiences, advocacy to protect our climbing resources, and stewardship of the Arizona Outdoors by promoting volunteerism and community engagement. Today, the AMC has over 300 members who are involved in all aspects of rock climbing, mountaineering and various other outdoor sports. AMC members range from the occasional weekend climber to those who attempt the highest mountains around the world. If you don’t know how to climb rock, the AMC offers Training with an emphasis on safety and self-rescue. AMC offers a comprehensive curriculum covering all aspects of rock climbing, including anchors, advanced rope-work, and lead climbing. If you already have climbing skills and experience, join other members on some of our regular outings – a great way to meet new friends and discover new climbing areas. Our Land Advocacy Committee works on issues related to maintaining and improving access to climbing areas. After a short business meeting, a program is presented to the members. Programs range from slide shows by famous and not-so-famous climbers to rock climbing videos and everything in between. The AMC publishes a monthly newsletter that has insightful articles, photos, and general information regarding a variety of topics. It’s a fun and informative read and a great place to share outdoor adventures. Benefits of membership Join or renew after June 30th and dues are pro-rated for 1/2 year at $20/person, $25/family.

The Central Arizona Bolt Replacement Program (CABRP) is an accredited 501(c)(3) organization. It was created to preserve the safety and integrity of fixed protection throughout central Arizona. Since its creation, the CABRP has replaced hundreds of worn and aged lead bolts and anchors. The fixed anchors used to create most of the sport climbs in the US are made of non-stainless steel. As such, they are subject to corrosion that weakens the anchors holding power. The non-stainless steel bolts throughout central Arizona have been exposed to environmental factors since the first day they were placed. All told, there are approximately 2,755 total routes throughout central Arizona. Working with the American Safe Climbing Association (ASCA), CABRP is placing stainless steel glue-in bolts and stainless steel expansion anchors specifically designed for the rigors of our sport. CABRP requests that all climbers establishing new routes use modern, stainless steel equipment. CABRP recognizes that this makes establishing a new route more expensive, but it is also the responsible way to protect future climbers and the precious resource that is our rock walls.
