Rebolt the RED day

[kafish2]

I think I could give a day to this cause on the weekend. I have a drill with two batteries and bits so that should get at least a few holes in. I have bolted some routes, but my one concern is I have never placed glue-ins and would hate to make a mess of a classic. Let me know if I can help, whether it is just bringing my drill and hanging out or if I can do more.

I would love to help but have no drill. Might splurge and have Xmas in Aug and buy one next month. When are you planning to do this? I didn't see a date.

Date isn't set yet but maybe the end of July. If I am out of town you can borrow my drill again Josie... actually, I have 2 so either way. Seems like there are going to be plenty of drills around though between all of us.

Nice work Patrick!

The dates are not set in stone yet.. Just want to do this work before the season gets good and the crowds come..

Here is a list I'm am thinking of..

Global Village
Disapperer
Lossen up
Casual viewing... 20 bolts

Tower Rock
Africa
Arachnid
Curving Crack... All need new anchors. This would be hand banging 6 bolts.

Long Wall
Game boy needs new anchors.. I'm sure there is more out there that needs it ..

King me needs a new first bolt
Pogue ethics needs the first bolt removed with a grinder I already replaced it.

What I'm thinking of is teams of 2 or 3 people, its nice to have guy on the ground..
We will need at least 2 teams at global village
2 teams at tower

And a few to maybe go out and get king me and game boy.. and maybe grind that bolt on pogue

Game Boy needs all new bolts. So does the extension to Are the Pies... the first half is good, Tackett did a great job rebolting it about 4 years ago.

We could try to hit Pogue and King Me this weekend. Do you have that angle grinder?

I am happy to "hand-bang" and glue the bolts at Tower or glue wherever. Drilling is mellow for guys like Kyle and Brad with experience, just stay at perpendicular, glueing is a mess. I may be out of town climbing in NC the last week in July but this is a cool event so I could move things around a bit too... thanks Patrick!

We will need some breaker bars with 9/16" hex fittings if anyone has one to bring. We have one at the Lode kindly donated by the Wheatleys. Also gloves, bits (are those TS bolts 1/2" or 5/8" holes?), and carpenter's putty for patching.

In a better mood now, half a bottle of 2 buck Chuck helps...

Count me in Patch- hand drillin- can't wait. . .

Game Boy needs new anchors?? Are you sure?? Both sets on the route are only about 2 years old.
