Reply To: HELP NEEDED!!!

Although not a SCWA person, I have rebolted a number of routes around Perth using my own drill, drill bits, glue and bolts, as well as climbing gear. I too can attest that it is a difficult and expensive undertaking.

Each bolt installed costs me about …

bolt – $3 to $5

glue – $2 to $3

wear on drill bit – $1 to $2

wear on rope etc ….???

plus my time…

So folks, if you want safer climbing and better routes, how about supporting SCWA!!!!

There are donation tins at some of the gyms and shops. Otherwise you can make a donation to CAWA who will then pass on the money to SCWA.

Note however, that CAWA DOES NOT DO BOLTING itself. Also all bolting must be according to the CAWA guidelines – and that’s actually written into the CALM regulations.
