Reply To: Bolting Systems used in WA

Good quality limestone (as opposed the sugar enjoyed in West Oz).

As opposed to fire we regularly see rock breaking down due to freeze cycles, these cliffs aren’t high enough to experience much of that which is why it seemed odd. A block at the base of one of these small cliffs which fell out last year has a bolt surrounded by an m3 of rock (that block fall being the first sign of instability). As far as I can tell the block that fell on the walkers came out of another cliff.

Likewise I try not to fall (my total count is 3 times)…but they’re a hoot when they happen!
