Hows about re-equiping High Torquing? Bolts are looking a bit tired and will complement the the stuff at Long Tor.
 
Jon is currently on a 6 month trip. The money is sitting there just fine.....weather and injury has been against us as the bolts donated by the BMC are supposed to be for both of the Cornices and this is just a guess but i'm thinking they're both pretty grim?
 
Where is the PBF drill at the moment? Was thinking of rebolting and doing Culloden this week. Have any bolts been bought? Also, maybe Zeke if I get time.
 
With Kristian , someone from the BMC rang me on friday and said he'd arrange to drop the donated bolts off over the weekend. As of yet i've heard nothing but if you drop me a pm with your number ru i'll give you a ring a.s.a.p.
 
Ru. If you get hold of it are you likely to be in Millersdale on Sat morning. I would like to rebolt Mecca extension which was missed last time Christian rebolted RT. I'll be out Sat am till mid afternoon.

for christ sake someone take the clips out of mecca while you're at it. it ain't the foundry.
 
I'll get around to doing it sometime in the near future, its just gonna be a bloody tiring job! I want to do it next year anyway. Any idea on current conditions? If its dry at the moment then i would be keen to do it asap.
 
Cool. No idea what its like at the mo, not been down that way for a while. If it would help to have a second person let me know when n I'll see if I can get the day off (not before the new year). Good work down Chee Dale the other day!!
 
Bolts on Whose Line is it Anyway looking very old and shabby. When clipping a draw onto the 4th bolt, as I knocked the biner against the rusty hexagonal bolt-head a piece sheared off...eek. The hangers look OK.
 
For anyone who's interested in a challenge.
I did 'Ouijaboard' on the cornice yesterday and thought it to be one of the best 8a's I've done on Peak Lime. Given the necessary upgrade and a rack of new bolts this will deservedly become very popular. The bolts at present are 'very poor' (I was actually quite worried, an outward force could easily shear the threads on some) which is a shame - anyone who accepts the re-pin challenge can count on a wad from me. All the old bolts are in pretty good clipping positions except the third which could do with moving down 12" to help onsighters. Go to it locals.
As an aside, how come a route like this gets missed when all the 8a+'s have been resined?
Oh, and Theoria still needs the go-over despite recent ticks on the old 8mm sleeves.

Because Jon Clark only has one set of hands and (almost) all the other locals would appear to be lazy fuckers, happy to wait for others to do the hard work for them. :shrug:
