Broke a great problem in glendalough this morning. Does anyone know what type of glue you could use to repair it - is it epoxy resin?

Thanks,
Kevin

bondo or any fiberglass epoxy will work fine. These are always temporary fixes and think about local ethics before slapping foreign junk onto any rock.

P.K.

Slippery slope, bud. Methinks you should just leave it alone, make a little shrine for the hold now broken, and if anyone makes a stink take responsibility for your actions. Sometimes holds break; that's the nature of climbing on rocks. Now you are just left with a moe significant challenge.

Well that link didn't work. Just go to www.thehomedepot.com and search for epoxy.
