Safer Cliffs Donation Request! 21-Dec-2004 At 1:06:22 PM safer cliffs vic

DONATION REQUEST!

In the last 18 months Safer Cliffs has fixed 121 separate climbing routes all over Victoria. Literally thousands of dollars has been spent on the replacement bolts, tools, worn ropes and the petrol costs that are involved in this laborious task. More than thirty weekends have been used up doing this work rather than climbing. Every small amount of money counts. If you can spare the price of a coffee or single gym entry fee that is still awesome. A $4 coffee pays for a single bolt, a $15 gym entry fee would pay for a complete rap anchor.

Currently we are about $500 in debt and without donated funds this work cannot continue.

It has been suggested that scheduled funds transfer via electronic banking could be a good way for people to donate to SCV. Think about it - would you really miss $10 a week? The money goes directly to the source - bad bolts and rap anchors in Victoria. If you don't want to donate cash then consider purchasing and donating equipment such as bolts, hangers and ropes. www.climbinganchors.com is a good place to buy this gear.

We can no longer work on larger scale projects as our drills and other re-bolting equipment have reached the end of their life spans. We would love to fix routes on Taipan, Spurt Wall, VD Land and Mt Buffalo - but we currently cannot. Every dollar counts!

Contact us at info@safercliffs.org to organize a donation!

Sincerely,

Neil Monteith - SCV
