A Few Stray bolts 15-Jul-2004 At 6:09:55 PM Robin

The bolts that were on Down By The Law were classic nominations for Neils 'worst bolt' competition. The first hammer in carrot wobbled under hand pressure, the fixed hangers were attached by carrots and one of the hangers was worn. I replaced these about 4 years ago with the rings and machine bolt. I re-used the same holes, used hilti glue and load tested all placements.

The ring bolt to the left replaced a hanger that was held in by an over driven carrot, which had been bent almost into an S shape to hold the hanger on. I replaced it at the time not knowing what the climb was. Checking the 'Black Guide' I suspect it is 'The Hanging Slab - 20', which is a variant finish to Legal Aid.
