The C2C argueing with everyone thread
Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
I have had a few people pm me asking for help, so I will try to keep the first post of this page updated with what needs to be done so that people who want to help will always know exactly what they can do on any specific day. So if you do any work let Dustin or myself know.

Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
Not really the case. Dustin just chooses to argue with everything I say. I was stupid enough to engage a debate with him over something that really didn't matter so I chose to delete my comments. Maybe I should have left them though to set the record straight on what was really said.vertical1 wrote:Is climb2core being a douche again.....?
Figures
Thanks Duston, Andrew, and team!

Sorry Mack5... it wasn't worth it the first time. Maybe you can ask Dustin to explain proximal vs distal though.
Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
Man, you just can't let it go... hilarious. Fine, to make sure everyone's on the same page with the hole-patching procedure:
proximate or proximal (ˈprɒksɪmɪt)
— adj
1. next or nearest in space or time
2. very near; close
3. immediately preceding or following in a series
4. a less common word for approximate
Yes, there is also an anatomical definition of "proximal" (situated close to the centre, median line, or point of attachment or origin). Given that we are talking about a fucking rock and not a living organism, it is more logical to apply the standard first or second definition above (although even taking this misappropriated definition into account, the closer part of the hole is the correct interpretation, since the hole itself is technically part of the air, not part of the rock). This means patch the part of the hole that is closest to you, not the back part of the hole that will not be seen once patched.
In any case, trying to guess the context of Hugh's statement and debate semantics is pointless and idiotic. This thread was intended to be useful for volunteers, & the important part is, if you go to patch holes, do it as shallow (proximal, or close, to yourself) as possible... just enough to cover the outer 1/2" or so of the hole. This will save money and materials when there are over 500 holes to be covered. I recommend plumber's or carpenter's putty, but others have had good luck with silicone and fibroglass + hardener. The 6 right-most routes (that is, from the perspective of a human being looking at the rock and not the rock itself
) on the Undertow are ready for patching.

Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
i'll come help out as soon as i get back from the new... i'll be in touch then (in about a week or so)
Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
Sweet. Oh yeah, don't forget the sand on the outer edge of the hole to cover the putty/fibroglass/silicone used to patch the hole.
Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
would caulking work (+ sand on the outside)?? or, is it important to fill the old hole with something that hardens?? would caulking be any cheaper? plus, the applicator tip on most tubes of caulking would make it really easy to fill an old bolt hole...
Re: Mother Lode Rebolting project update and help thread
Dunno... never tried. I guess if caulk hardens up pretty well and holds sand well enough to cover it all it would work.
