Our Mission

The Ontario Alliance of Climbers is an independent provincial, volunteer non-profit organization that works diligently to keep climbing and bouldering areas open.

The Bolt Fund is Live!

The OAC Bolt Replacement Fund assists route developers with the costs associated with replacing aged or worn out fixed hardware. Bolts and anchors may show wear, rust or damage after prolonged use and exposure. Replacing this gear is vital to improve climber safety and accessibility.

What's your go-to pair of shoes?  You'll be able to check out the latest from @lasportivana at the Beaver Valley Climbing Festival!  Make sure you arrive early to scope out the new shoes, and demo a pair with a day of climbing on real rock. There's no better way to make sure you've got the right fit and model!  La Sportiva has been in the business since 1928, we're sure they've got your climbing needs covered!
