Bolting Code of Practice
In October 2017, the NZCA approved its first Bolting Code of Practice. The document has been two years in the making, and distills the current guidance for how to ethically, legally and safely install anchors within Canyons in New Zealand.
The NZCA Bolting COP is the reference document for all amateur, recreational canyon bolting guidance in New Zealand.
