 ARI Program Featured in Arizona Newspapers
In November, 2007 local volunteer Jerry Cagle recently replaced the bolts on Arizona's famousWhat's My Line? on Cochise Dome. "ARI made it possible to realize that goal," said Cagle, who was able to upgrade a climb of special significance to him and says he is grateful for the donations and support of The North Face and Petzl. The Anchor Replacement Initiative, a program dedicated to the replacement of worn and inadequate fixed anchors at popular climbing areas across the country, has contributed to Arizona's Cochise Stronghold.

Since its launch in 2003, the program continues to be a great way for Climbing Magazine along with its generous supporters, The North Face and Petzl to give something tangible back to the climbing community. As an experienced climber and developer you understand the seriousness and importance of the work you are applying to do. The ARI makes a concerted effort to enlist the help of the most qualified and capable people by requiring references to assure volunteers experience and representation of their respective climbing communities best wishes.

Many of the anchors we have replaced have been either scary ones or ones chopped/smashed by Ken Nichols. Thanks to the ARI, most of these anchors have been replaced. Farley Ledge is often billed as the best crag between the Gunks and Rumney. It is home to five-star trad climbing, sport climbing, ice climbing, bouldering, top roping and even multi-pitch climbing. Located only 15 min from Greenfield, 30 min from the college towns of Amherst & Northampton.  Anchor Replacement Initiative (ARI) 2007

Replacing anchors is HARD work and it takes lots of time to do it correctly! Climbing's Anchor Replacement Initiative could NOT be made possible without the hundreds man-hours our volunteers have donated to making our crags a safe place.
