Terry is correct. The Rawl-type 5-piece bolt is back as a "Power Bolt." It's the Rawl name that appears to be dead.

I finally got to read Rick's report http://www.muirvalley.com/pdf/BoltingBook.pdf
Very informative. Thanks for the help. Now can I borrow $900 to build a bolting kit

I'll work on getting this equitment over the next few months, should have everything by January, and will repair the anchors on Coffee Talk, and what ever the route is to the right of it.

Gullwing,
Take matters into your own hands. That's the spirit!

You can always get a hand-drilling setup for much cheaper than $900. Drill a couple of 3 3/4 inch holes and you will realize that the rock here is harder than you anticipated. This will also give you motivation to save up bucks for a power drill.
