The new Motherlode rebolting and help thread

[Andrew]

Since the last thread turned into ten pages of drivel, I decided to make a new thread dedicated to what has been done and what we still need help with.

So far the following routes are completely done (all new glue-ins, anchors finished, and old bolts removed): Tuna Town, Resurrection, The Verdict, Rocket Dog, Kick Me In The Jimmy, Low Easy One, and Burliers Bane, Chainsaw, Convicted, ale-8 one, skinboat.

Things that need to be done next: Hoofmaker and snapper need old bolts pulled, and harvest needs glued... stella only needs the old anchors removed( must bring crescent or open ended wrench), more routes need drilling.

All routes need old bolt holes filled, but that is note imperative. Best method is to fill them with plumbers putty, unless you know of something better.

If anyone wants to volunteer to help do any of these things, shoot me a PM and I can tell you where to get the tools and gear. Removing old bolts and swapping anchors is an easy job that anyone can do.

A big thanks so far to Dustin, Mike Wheatley, Dave Linz, Alex Southward, Sean (the one with tattoos and sexy muscles), Matt, and Roger for all there work especially in 90+ degree weather with 100+ heat indexes.

I will try to keep this first post properly updated, and please keep this thread on topic.

hey I'll help....the only reason I'm posting this is because you're looking over my shoulder making sure I don't derail this thread.

I am going down tomorrow with Dave, and we will be working at the lode the second half of the day. If anyone wants to join us show up at the lode around 2:00 or 3:00 or car pool with us from cinci or lex or miguels. We plan on climbing at the gold coast in the morning before the sun hits the wall.

I will try to get out this weekend. My free time this summer has dried up a bit. Studying for boards,too. Seven years of school and I don't want to fuck it up now with cragging. (fucked up priorities, I know).
I have fifty bolts when some one needs them. I will try to get out Sat or Sun. Andrew, whats your day this weekend?

My day this weekend is today, Friday. If you don't mind gluing, we can give you a lot to glue.
