Your right, the pics won't tell Neil the sort of thing he wants to know about the bolts, and it wasn't really the inetention of the night (or I believe Richard's trip to bundaleer).

What did emerge is that the heat must have been intense - any tree no matter how high up the cliff was burnt. What would the temperature be in a fire - i know of aluminium melting in a bush fire, which requires 660 deg C, but that would likely only occur when surrounded by flamible material, so I doubt a bolt on the cliff would get anywhere near this sort of temp - maybe 100 deg C. What's the experiance from Buffalo? When access to Bundaleer gets to the stage that bolts need checking, I expect you'll get approached, Neil.
