Meet the A-Team: Luke Bertelsen, Eric Fazio-Rhicard, Geir Hundal, Eric Ruljancich, and Andy Bennett are all skilled and experienced in bolt replacement and they’ll be adhering to the AF/AAC best practices!
CASA is a 2015 recipient of The Anchor Replacement Fund. This joint grant from the Access Fund and the American Alpine Club will assist the Anchor Team (“A-Team”) in replacing old and potentially dangerous fixed anchors at our climbing areas. Goodbye, old hardware. Hello, high quality stainless steel bolts, hangers and top-anchors.

Thank you for supporting this work! There are around 10,000 fixed anchors on the mountain. We aim to replace outdated hardware before we face a crisis.

Fall (2015) Fundraising:
  • During our fall campaign, individuals donated $3,041.
  • Rocks & Ropes, The BLOC, and Nick Asbury matched $1,500.
  • In total, the community donated over $5,000

The A-Team relies on generous and conscientious donors like you, as well as on our funding partners. The A-Team’s anchor replacement efforts on Mt. Lemmon are supported by the joint Access Fund-American Alpine Club Anchor Replacement Fund. ​

Thank you for helping us get ALL of the available matching funds!
Matched by Rocks & Ropes: $1000
Matched by Nick “The Guy With The Calves” Asbury: $500
A-Team says, “Thank you to our Anchor Replacement donors!”
