Rebolt the RED day
Re: Rebolt the RED day
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.
Re: Rebolt the RED day
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.

Re: Rebolt the RED day
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.
Re: Rebolt the RED day
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.

Re: Rebolt the RED day
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!

Re: Rebolt the RED day
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...

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