a non-profit creating visibility, running hands-on workshops, and building support networks for women rebolting and bolting climbing routes across Europe and Morocco.
Bolts corrode, anchors wear out, and routes need rebolting to stay safe. That technical work has long been done almost entirely by men. Rebolting Hearts exists to change that: we train women in rebolting and bolting, give them the visibility and confidence to take on this work in their own climbing communities, and connect them with a wider network of women doing the same across Europe and Morocco.
We highlight the women already rebolting and bolting routes, and make the skill visible as something any woman climber can learn — not a niche reserved for a few.
Hands-on, technical workshops covering anchor inspection, hardware, drilling, route gardening and bolting ethics — taught by and for women.
A network of women rebolters across Europe and Morocco sharing tools, local access, mentorship, and route-maintenance projects.
“I’ll never forget teaching a women’s rebolting workshop. It was such an empowering moment.”
“I’m so excited to help create more moments like that for our community.” — from our team
We're kicking things off with a hands-on rebolting workshop in Morocco. See dates, location, and how to apply.
Rebolting Hearts is supported by brands and organisations who believe in safer routes and a more visible place for women in climbing maintenance.
