Bolt plate info

I finally got around to buying some bolt plates so I didn't have to keep borrowing them, and thought I would share some info. I ended up buying 15 of them from Climbing Anchors Australia http://www.climbinganchors.com.au as they were only $4.99 for the PFH 2000kg ones (both 45 and 90 degrees were the same price). Plus postage was only $5.50, and they arrived in a few days. All in all a very good service, and the cheapest price I could find.

I have bought some gear from rock hardware before, but their price was $5.50 for 90 degree, and $6.00 for 45 degree, plus postage is a minimum $12.

If anyone knows where to get them cheaper I don't particularly want to know now...but someone else who reads this thread might!

Cheers

Dave

I picked up some PFH hangers from Mountain Designs (Melb. CBD) for $4.90 each... That was 2008 though...

Mountain Designs and Mountain Equipment in Sydney have both recently been out of stock - Just ended up ordering a few more from rock hardware when I ordered a few other bits and pieces

Take a climbing trip to the Bluies (unless you already live here).
Free bolt plates galore, just head out to the bottom of Mirrorball or Hotel Cal at Pierces, or sweet dreams/Whimper at Leura. Many bolt plates to be had.

Bunny Bucket Buttress used to be prime hunting grounds but now some official has stopped booty hunting in that area!

Note: A big thanks to Mikl for ringbolting it, it must have been a big effort

You're going to be popular to climb with, 15 new hangers to accidently be left in a chalk bag.
