Anyone staying after the Rendezvous? We have a rebolting permit for the 22nd to the 5th, and have a long list of routes in need of 1/4" bolt replacement. Some is casual fun climbing with a couple bolts or so needing replacement over a long multipitch, and some is "we need help" sort of stuff, as in help hiking ropes and water and such.

I'll post a message in Regional Discussions with our current "to-do" list and asking for beta/suggestions.

See everyone at the Rendezvous!

Greg

What??? Bolt? Chop??? Replace? Ok, I'm in. Where to? You provide the rope-gun, I'll provide the dirty work.


Bad bolt :arrow: Good bolt.

Cool copperhead, I'll lead, or we can get multiple parties going!

Just a warning on the replacement craftsmanship if we do some Urioste route - they used 1/4" wedge bolts that always break (well, we managed to pull 1 out of around 400), so you always have to drill a new hole, it's really annoying.
