WARP’s mission is to replace aging and unsafe climbing anchors throughout Washington State.

Many anchors on climbing routes in Washington State were placed over thirty years ago. A great number of these anchors have reached the end of their usable lifespan—after degrading from rust, use, and the elements. We supply the gear necessary to replace this dangerous hardware with long lasting stainless steel anchors. For more information, please visit our Education page.

All replacement work supplied by the WARP is completed by trained volunteers—mountain guides, search & rescue teams, and other climbers who are interested in giving back to their community.

WARP follows nationally recognized best practices for re-bolting, utilizing stringent requirements and expectations in vetting candidates who apply for hardware grants. We only supply hardware recommended or certified for climbing use. All replacement bolts, hangers, quicklinks, rap rings and chains are stainless steel.
