How much should I donate?
Any amount will be greatly appreciated. But as a guide in bolting, each steel bolt costs P150 to P200 (around USD 4) depending on the length (route bolts are 12x70mm, anchors are 12x100mm) and each stainless steel hanger costs about P200 (USD 4). A typical route consists of eight route bolts and two anchors. Anchor chains or carabiners would cost extra. If the cliff is near the sea, then the bolts cost three times that of the steel bolts.

Who receives and handles my donation?
Climb Philippines is run by a team of volunteers who share in the mission of developing outdoor climbing in the country. While the website started as a hobby of Filipino climber Ina Flores-Pahati, everything Climb Philippines does today is a combined effort of a growing number of supporters who simply want to give back to the sport and its community.
Climb Philippines also partners with the prime movers of the sport in the country. These are a mix of gym owners/managers, climbing instructors, competition route-setters, national athletes, or simply the most active rock climbers in their respective regions
Outside of the country, it is also affiliated with Spot Climbers.
Needless to say, developing and caring for crags is a purely voluntary effort, and all donations received are not-for-profit, and non tax-deductible.
