Topic: Bolt (climbing)

	The American Safe Climbing Association
		When you're using a power drill or bolting by hand on rappel there's no excuse for placing a flimsy bolt, and at a minimum you should use a 3/8inch by 2 1/2inch bolt in hard rock, 3/8inch by 3 1/2inches in medium rock, and a 1/2inch by 4 1/2inch glue-in bolt in soft rock.
		Climbing bolts should be strong, durable, easy to place, corrosion resistant, have some leeway for user error, and be removable so you can replace them.
		We also tested these bolts in soft rock, but their expansion cones, being slightly larger than the drilled hole, sheared away the inside of the hole as the bolt was tapped in, causing the bolt to spin when we attempted to tighten it down.

	Flatliners Southeast Climbing FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions - Sport Climbing
		A: Sport climbing describes climbing where the anchors (typically bolts) are already placed in the rock prior to climbing it.
		A mechanically secured bolt is one where tightening it causes the shaft to expand in the hole, the most common means of securing.
		A: Having bolts on a climb gives a climber confidence that the anchors he uses are sound.

		The 17 mm is for the 3/8 wedge anchors, 9/16 is for the half-inch bolts and ½ inch wrenches are for the 3/8.
		If the bolts are far back in a crevice over a ledge this may increase drag in the rope, decreasing the control the belayer has of the leader.
		If, decades in the future, a bolt fails and a second nicely spaced bolt saves the fall no will throw blame, but if the bolt fails and the next bolt is too far down to provide real protection, then people will hunt down anyone they could find to blame.

	Sport Climbing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The essence of sport climbing is that the challenge in ascending a route comes from the difficulty of the moves.
		I used to see "Sport Climbing is Neither" bumper stickers at the crags, and many climbers still think that climbing should not be treated as a mere "sport." This prejudice comes from the idea that sport climbing dissipates two essential elements of the climbing experience: risk and commitment.
		Sport climbing, like any climbing, can be done sloppily, with poor attention and small effort, or it can be done passionately, with as much effort as you can muster.

		They are on rock that otherwise wouldn't be climbed except by those few, (and there are a few) who belive that you shouldn't have the "right", (whatever that means) to climb there unless you're willing to die.
		Everytime you climb you have to judge the people you are with, the climb you are going to do, and your own physical condition and adjust your techniques and plans accordingly.
		Instead of belaying the leader, he climbs at about the same speed (and at the same time) so that there is 2-4 feet of slack of rope in front of him.

		The glue used for glue in bolts, if proper type and correctly used, will last basically forever - tests on glue in bolts in French limestone showed no deterioration in strength after 20 years.
		If you replace the hanger only, make sure it is the same material that is used in the bolt, so it won't create a chemical reaction with two different materials.
		Climbing, slacklining, mountaineering, and other activities discussed on this site are dangerous.

		The nut on the bolt was finger tight and I could easily spin it off and on.
		When the bolt is first installed (and tightened) is when the torque wrench would come in handy.
		I have found a few bolts, even on walls like Lurking Fear on El Cap and NW Face Half Dome, where the bolt had never been tightened, and was wiggling loose in the hole.

	Las Palomas Climbing Guide
		I have not had much of a chance to climb in the spring and the summer was very hot, again with closures.
		The climb is solid 5.12b, with the crux moves made on tiny sharp (or small and rounded...) edges with very poor feet, finishing with a dyno from small crimpers to a bucket on the right of the third bolt.
		Finally consider that you can always choose not to use a bolt when it is present, but its removal denies any choice to sports climbers and effectively prevents them from enjoying the route.
