€4500 for rebolting on Kalymnos thank to the Send App

The Send Climbing Topos, which has developed the Left-Right Topos for 8a, has donated €4500 to rebolting since they introduced the Kalymnos App. "Today is a very special day- the first anniversary of the Kalymmos topo app! To mark this occasion we provide a report on how things have gone over the last year. Funds raised and spent: The Kalymnos Topo app exists to raise money for the Glaros Bolt fund, the only bolt fund we know that gives every penny/cent it gets towards rebolting on Kalymnos. Since the app was launched last October, we are very proud to announce that the Kalymnos Topo app, together with generous donations for the new routes paper updates from the Glaros Bar have generated a total of €6500. Of this, €4500 was raised by sales of the app which continues to retail at €5.49. Of this amount, €1000 was donated to the Kalymnos Rescue Service, which went towards team training in climbing and rescue skills to help not just with rescue efforts but also to help with future rebolting and route condition reporting. As a municipality/EU funded contract for rebolting is due to start soon, we have decided to wait until this work was finished before funding any substantial rebolting effort to as to avoid duplication. For this reason we have only been supplying equipment for emergency repair work.
