First get your drill, bolts, yada, yada. Then make sure you have a vague idea of where your bolts are going to be. You'll need the drill stuff and an atc *dynamic rope* and draws set up at the anchors. *** This is good for single pitch routes ** Note These pictures are examples to show you not the real deal. First set up a toprope. Then tie in to the climber side of the rope. Next put the belayers side of the rope into the atc. Clip both the atc and rope into the locking carabiner and clip that into your belay loop and your rope. Next belay your self up the wall. Tie knots that will stop you if you fall. Make sure that you can untie them. Then if you fall the knots will catch you. When you reach the perfect place for a person to clip, you ascend a tiny bit more tie a knot and lower your self so that you rest on the knot, from there you can drill and put the bolt in. I may not work but I tried it in my basement on an eyebolt. If you don't think it does please tell me I'm anxious to know.
