haha, im glad im not the only one that caught that.sendit wrote:This is funny, "It was basically the first route I bolted that wasn’t a link-up or a variation." uhh, if southern smoke is not a variation/linkup I'm not sure what is.

One time I had Rawls power bolts pinned down from a wholesale outlet for $0.88 a piece. Of course I had to come up with $880 for a thousand of them.
I think I remember a couple of years ago that a couple of bolters got together and bought RedHead bolts....
Maybe we can get together and use our collective buying power to buy a shit load of bolts at a more than reasonable price.

Might be a good time to start a photo archive, including date the bolt was placed, date it was pulled, which bolt on which route and bolt type. Would be a good reference for future generations.Andrew wrote:I have pulled out some 12 year old plus bolts in the red,

powers 2.75 & 3.75 x 1/2 plated, fixe plated hangers. Haven't hit the lottery yet to aford ss. Still have bills to pay at home as I know you are aware.pigsteak wrote:jeff, what are you guys using in the roadside rebolting?
Mix of glue ins and powers going in at frc as needed/time allows.

Don't want to stir up a can of worms here so to speak, but wondering if there might be a way to get a rebolting fund going to use the best possible hardware? Seems worth the extra $5-6 or so to use longer-lasting SS and avoid this process again later down the road. I wonder if it could start being a part of the RRGCC mission since the PMRP purchase is looking fairly probable at this point? I could get in touch with Greg Barnes at ASCA and see what he thinks. I think that the guy doing the actual rebolting work shouldn't be paying for it too!

Rrgcc is not as has never been the "bolt police".
Team Suck accepts donations for the cause, but donations are minimal.
It would be great if someone wanted to organize and follow through.

I was thinking more financial support than actual "policing." Seems like safe bolts are in the interest of all climbers. I just gave $50 and wish now I had given a part of that Team Suck. Alas, now I'm broke

I understand whate you're saying, and I agree it would be nice, but it's just not something the cc has ever done.dustonian wrote:I was thinking more financial support than actual "policing."

Now I will shut up and let someone from the coalition speak about it!
