Bolting and Route Maintenance
One of the chief responsibilities of the Central Texas Mountaineers is to help maintain the routes at our
local crags to ensure the safety of our climbing areas. This includes cleaning areas of loose rock to reduce
rock fall, trail work to minimize erosion and degredation of the climbing areas, as well as periodic bolt and
anchor inspection and replacement. To this end, we have established several climbing committes to govorn the
maintenance of the many climbing areas in and around Austin. The CTCC
was formed to oversee the bolting at Enchanted Rock.
The RRCC was established at the request of Travis County to oversee the maintenance
and bolting of Reimers Ranch when
this land was aquired by the county at the end of 2005. The RRCC will also oversee bolting at all Travis County parks,
which includes Pace Bend. CTM is responsible for all other areas, which includes
the Greenbelt (climbs along Barton Creek), Georgetown, Belton, Bull Creek, etc.
The pages below are used to keep public record of all of the maintenance done in these climbing areas. Please
let us know of any maintenance issues that you may find while climbing and one of our volunteers will schedule and
attend to the problem as soon as possible. We welcome anyone who would like to help this effort, whether through
helping us replace bad bolts or through the donation of supplies or funds (now through
Adopt-A-Bolt).
Please contact CTM for more information.
