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.

Or.... you can use an ascender and a gri gri/cinch and have it work alot easier? do tell how you tie those knots while belaying yourself with an ATC.. howtokillyourself101 perhaps you should go back to worrying about how to belay rather than how to bolt things.... please don't die at rumney.... thanks.

If you have just lead a route, and never bolted a route, I don't think you should be sharing information on how you think the best way to do something you have never done and have no experience in. What if some other noob such as yourself decides to bolt a route and googles it, comesup with this, and decides to try it and kills themself? Also really what you posted has nothing to do with how to bolt a route, just how to ascend it, and if you are going to do it like this there is definitely much better, and probably safer ways of doing it. I know you are excited about the sport, but when you are posting for the world to see please consider the implications your post might cause.

Edit: Please tell me that's not a picture of you yourself above? Edit 2: Belay yourself up the rock with an ATC? On top rope? Tying knots? Well, I'm glad it worked on an eyebolt in your basement with the McDonald's poster in attendance. Listen, I'm going to be uncharacteristically nice and diplomatic considering the contents of this thread: Don't worry about bolts for a while. For a long while. Put them out of your mind completely.

WTF no... and dont top rope off a single non locker, I say that cause you deminstrate how to tie in which I dont think some bolting needs to learn how to do that. You kind of stated the "question" like a statement then kind of said you were just asking.

Hate to see you tie that slip knot backwards, or look down to see that the weight of the rope has pulled all of them out, making that trip to the ground all to easy. Please don't post this stuff, it is actually really dangerous to do, even if you know what you are doing, (which you don't) the person looking for the advice does not. This is why this advice should be learned first hand and over time. I hope the Mods delete this, or make there job easier and delete your original post, this is for the safety of others, not trying to be mean. Also, NO, it will not work. Final note, that sharpy indicator on your ATC just tells the rest of us that it is completely unused and that you don't know what you are doing. Sharpy markings wear off the first time you climb, and definitly before you would be bolting. j-

Allow me to translate: WTF no...and don't top rope off an anchor with a power point consisting only of a single non-locking biner. I say this because you demonstrate how to tie in, which I don't think someone bolting needs to learn how to do, and this calls into serious question your familiarity with climbing gear and rope safety systems in general...ergo, I don't see it as outside the realm of possibility that you would attempt something along the line of the aforementioned anchor setup. Furthermore, your original post was misleading - you presented the information as a series of statements, then later made a statement claiming that your prior statement was, in fact, a query. My query to you then becomes whether or not your original statement was a statement or question. Understand? *bows*

Please do not do this, I don't want to read about your goffy ass meatbombing in the accident forums, if you really must ascend a rope or chill at a spot for a while, just use prussics. Look it up in Freedom of the hills. Also, don't know if you were actually planning on it, but please don't touch a bolting kit for a long while

more importantly, if you do not know how to ascend a route properly in order to bolt it, then you have absolutely no business actually installing said bolts. when you have enough time and rate in the sport that you can install bolts correctly, then trust me, you'll know how to ascend the route in order to do so.
