Make a Donation
All donations contribute to providing the best materials and equipment to local volunteer activists who make a massive effort to establish sustainable fixed protection, lower-offs and belays, as well as maintaining other access requirements in North Wales. The NWBF also supports volunteers in other areas in Wales and beyond. The materials and equipment costs are high but if it's worth doing, let's do it right.
How to Donate
Donation by bank transfer payments is preferred because the NWBF gets all of your donation. PayPal is great but they do take a fee reducing your donation. Use Paypal if this is the best or only option for you. Many thanks.

Get Involved

Upper Pen Trwyn Inspections
Local volunteers also play a role in the organising of training for installing and inspecting of bolts. Any equipment required is funded by the bolt fund. Inspections are needed to assist the BMC and Conwy Council to meet the requirements of the public safety risk assessment that allows everyone to enjoy the Great Orme Marine Drive. Without these inspections, the access for climbers and the general public would be restricted, if not stopped altogether. The volunteers who undertake these inspections are crucial and all climbers should be grateful for their massive efforts. The North Wales Bolting Facebook is the place to find out about these inspections, the training and how to get involved.

ABOUT NWBF
The North Wales Bolt Fund (NWBF) started in 1992 as North Wales Slate with all the profit from the 1992 not-for-profit Slate: A Climbers Guide. This money kick started the fund and the significant promotion of sustainable bolting. Many slate routes got much needed upgrades. The funding continued following the publication of the not-for-profit Climbers Guide to Llanberis Slate Quarries in 1998. In 2007, the name changed to the North Wales Bolt Fund to reflect the wider range of areas where bolting is taking place. The bolts used on the limestone sea cliffs in North Wales were rapidly becoming dangerous due to the impact of being in a marine environment.
The fund has supported upgrading the bolts in many areas, not just in the Llanberis quarries and on the Ormes, but also at Dinbren, Llanymynech, Llŷn Peninsula, Mid Wales and other areas in Wales, and even some beyond the Welsh borders.
