I have proposed to the RRGCC Board the idea of earmarking a portion of the donation from the guidebook sales for bolt replacement. We are having a Board meeting next weekend so I will report after that. Regarding the method of replacing fixed anchors in the Clifty Wilderness I have also proposed that we arrange a meeting with the District Ranger, Dave Manner, to discuss the issue.bentley wrote:working on it.

A sorta un-offical blog style reports of breaking stuff. Pretty much everything they tested was still plenty strong enough for an "ave. sport fall", which he puts at around 2kN for a soft catch and 5kN for a really hard catch.
And, don't forget, if you want to help with the rebolting efforts of team suck, you can donate via paypal at http://www.teamsuckclimbing.com

Interesting talk down the page abit about ss v. non-ss bolts, and seems like ss is not as big a deal as some people say, and in fact, might be worse then non-ss in some cases.

Wait a minute...
I thought there was a ban on bolting until the FS gives the ok. Are they now saying that its ok to replace bolts or put in anchors where there should be?
Incidently, I'd like to cut all the crap off the top of "Attack of the Sand Shark" and put in a nice Metolus rap station with 3" bolts...
