I can't bolt, but I can belay. Will you need belayers?

I'm more than happy to come do whatever I can.

Bolting is only half of the development, scrubbing routes is the other half.

Well good...I thought it just went right over my head for a moment...not like me.

I can't bolt!! But again, happy to do what I can. Belay, scrub, put up with allah...oh the sacrifices that I make.

Anyone want to suggest a date for this? I think if something firm were put together that you'd get a decent turnout.

There would of course be experienced first ascentionists involved in a PMRP bolting day to mentor those just learning. Even those of you who are experienced first ascentionist should consider attending the upcoming bolting clinic to get the most recent version of the Bolting Manual compiled by Rick Weber and to learn first hand about the destructive bolt testing that he has been conducting.
Each Bolting Clinic Attendee will get a free printed, wirebound manual, some sample hardware, drinks, and snacks. We'll be blowing out bolts, too. So, bring your favorite hardware for destructive testing.
