Climbing hold/bolt hole plugs
June 03, 2013, 01:11:03 pm
Hello,

Surely you remember Dimitri Sharafutdinov grabbing the mono in the Innsbruck comp recently. Who knows the best way to put (easily removable) plugs into the bolt holes? I know tape or paper work perfectly - just wondering whether there is an easier/faster method. Especially when you need to plug/unplug a lot of holds in a short time. I know there are plastic plugs available - just cant find them on the interweb.

cheers, Harald

I was told Golf tees work well to plug up t-nut holes in plywood panels when painting - can't say I've tried it myself though.

Preferably more easily removable and made of plastic. Will have a look at the golf tees.
