The Wilmington State Parks has contracted with Earth Treks of MD to install 2 new climbing anchors at Alapocas Run State Park. The local climbing community has an opportunity to donate funds to the park to provide for the installation of up to 3 additional climbing anchors beyond the 2 anchors that are already planned. The anchors will be installed at the Main Wall, where the other anchors are already installed.

The park has estimated that each additional anchor will cost $150 plus some amount for the installation. To fund 3 additional climbing anchors, we will need to raise around $550 to $600.

Earth Treks will be installing the new anchors on April 26 or 27. Therefore, we need to collect any donations and present them to the park prior to April 26.

If you would like to donate towards the additional anchors, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Send an e-mail to michaelh@declimbers.org indicating the amount of your donation. This will allow us to know what donations will be arriving.
  2.  Mail your donation via a check ASAP.
    1. Make the check payable to “Alapocas Run State Park”.
    2. In the memo field on the check, indicate “Donation Rock Climbing Programs”.
    3. Mail to:

Michael Hartman

Thanks in advance for your donation!
