Have recovered enough from my knee op to resume any re-bolting people are keen to see. Any suggestions welcome!
good to hear your back mate, look forward to catching up when I’m in town next
climbed some routes at stathams 21-22’s just along from chain reaction
all carrots there would be good to replace esp the top anchor of the 21 which is complete shit.. 2 carrots horizontally opposed with removable hangers and shackles
also the 16 L sid eof Mullup wall is which shares top chain with the 26 round the corner. Top chain is rusted mank hanging from rusty crap bolts, could be replaced in the same location to serve both routes. The bolts on the route itself are badly placed carrots, the first is a nasty high clip which seems pretty silly for a 16 … maybe the bottom was dug out as was the rest of the wall after the route FA? Would be great to have a well equipped 16 for those who like moderate routes..
cheers
I started rebolting the 16 a couple of months ago ie, drilled 3 /5 holes, but had drill troubles….flat batteries. Will get to it soon!.
Have plenty of bolts and glue if anybody wants to finish it off!.
Cheers Ed! I have a copy of the A. Guides reunion disk coming over for you to watch. What was your plans with the 16 George? GIMBS with Fixe P’s for an anchor? Do you think P’s at the top will be OK if they intended to be used for Razzle Dazzle as well (ie twisting forces). Does anyone have any thought on re-bolting any lines on the left side of the skywalker wall such as vader etc? Cheers
I actually drilled holes for p-bolts, GIMBS would have also been an option. Mainly because i had plenty of p’s at the time, not for any reason of preference.
I gave some gear to neil to finish off the job, but neither of us have had the time to get back to it.
So i would say all p’s and a separate anchor for the 16. As the existing anchors are orientated towards razzle dazzle and are a bit funky when loaded down the 16
Be nice to see that 16 bolted well as there are so few of them for people who lead at that grade.
Vader and the force, actually anything on Skywalker that still need to be done would be good contenders for rebolting and I will throw some fundage towards doing them if they are on your list Richard.
Cheers

Ricardo, pop over here and fix up the carrots on Bladerhozen at pierces pass in the blueies – they were pretty mank. And while you’re at it you could do Smegadeth 🙂
Hey Smow!
When my heart pains get worse from not seeing you, I’ll certainly do that!
