Donating Glue

feeds@yuku.com (willmonks) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:16:46 GMT

Hi All, just moved to Brisbane, have a tube and a half of Ramset 101 which will only be good for another couple of months. Prefer to donate for rebolting - do any rebolters need some? Will

Teaching anchors at KP

feeds@yuku.com (TrisTheClimber) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:04:32 GMT

Hello all,

I have been tossing this idea around in my head for a while, but now it's time to get the opinion of others.

What do people say to me installing a set of teaching anchors close to the ground at the main cliffs of Kangaroo Point?

There are already a set at the nursery cliffs, however I find that I do most of my teaching at night and the nursery cliffs don't have any lights. I...

Volunteer

Hi there,

How's it all going?
Just wondering who I get in contact with to volunteer time for Safer Cliffs?
I don't have much to offer in terms of donating used/unwanted equipment but can bring all my own gear to the gig and I am also a ticketed rigger if that's any help?
I live on the North Sunshine Coast .
Anyhoo, hope to hear from somone soon.

All the best,

Retrobolting of Mank Mistress?

feeds@yuku.com (hotgemini) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:53:51 GMT

I haven't been past to have a look myself, but I've been told that Nightfell (edit: Update, bottom 3/4s of mank mistress, top of nightfell/burning fragment) at kangaroo point has been retrobolted. Anyone know any more details?

? Safety of anchors on Date Anatomy - KP

feeds@yuku.com (jcgafney) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:48:38 GMT

After arriving at the anchors of Date Anatomy on Thursday night I wasn't overly excited at the appearances of their bolts.

One bolt appeared to be sticking out of the rock by about 10mm, while the other would have proud by about 30mm!
I don't know how long these bolts are, but if 30mm is sticking out, that means that there's 30mm of an expansion bolt not doing it's job.

There is also another climb, about 3m to the left that has similar...

Just want to say thanks to Bjorn for replacing the anchor at the top of Tiger Stripe at Kp Yesterday morning. Cheers!!

Robbies robust runners anchor gone?

feeds@yuku.com (TrisTheClimber) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 23:00:26 GMT

Hello all, somebody down at KP tonight mentioned to me that the robbies anchor has gone missing. I have not checked it myself yet, but I intend on doing this soon. Does anybody have any info on this?

Olos Anchor

feeds@yuku.com (pumpensmear) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:51:59 GMT

Does anyone know why there is only a single ring at the top of Olos Slab now, with a bolt missing a fixed hanger. You can still top out, but its a pain to clean now. I say we replace the bolt remains with another ring, as you can easily remove a hanger by leaning over the cliff and unbolting. I guess this is where it got to...

Question about rusty chains

feeds@yuku.com (thiaoouba) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:21:41 GMT

I was looking at the belay/rap chains on Summer Holiday (Ngungun) and wondering why the left chain looked ok, but the right chain looked quite rusty (see picture). My partner suggested that the right chain was older, but I couldn't work out why, if someone replaced the left chain, they didn't also replace the right chain at the same time? So my next guess is the right chain is a different type of metal? Seems a bit odd. All insights...

Two M12 Shouldered Eye Bolts at KP 06/07/09

feeds@yuku.com (hotgemini) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:51:18 GMT

Was at Kangaroo Point this afternoon and spotted two new bolts near the top of Brisbane Bitter/XXXX.

Apologies for the bad photos but they were taken with my phone in rapidly fading light.

On closer inspection, they're M12 grade 316 shouldered eye bolts

First the left hand bolt

Chip a hold away

feeds@yuku.com (TrisTheClimber) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:40:24 GMT

Hello all,

Can anybody tell me if the rebolting of chip-a-hold away was done completely with flush head dynabolts?

Currently the crux bolt hanger is spinning, and if it is a dynabolt then this needs to be fixed.

I would have had a proper look when I was climbing it this morning, however I was feeling a little insecure so I moved on quickly (and then completely forgot about it).

I am happy to fix it, just thought I'd ask before I go down there with...

Twist shackles

feeds@yuku.com (Radest) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:40:36 GMT

Would like to know more about the use and proper installation. It reduce the wear and also position the rope nicely when you tread. Finally they also reduce the twist in your rope when it's time to pull it down.

Well that's things is great.

I would look personally.

Rated: I never saw any stamp but it's always possible to get the specification when you buy it (or ask to get them from the person who "give" it to you).

Stainless

feeds@yuku.com (devlin) — Mon, 11 May 2009 14:29:32 GMT

This could almost go in the 'turf roller' topic.

Where do you get small quantities of SS rod from? All of the places I have rung are talking min oreders of $500. Way more than I need. I am working on a little project where I only need a couple meters of 10mm rod in 316.

Urban Villian Anchor - The Crown Urbanville

feeds@yuku.com (davereeve) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:37:15 GMT

Just for the record, here's a photo of the anchor on Urban Villian which we replaced with Fixe double rings last year. The one on the right is the ultimate low cost solution with a 2mm steel ring home welded onto a PFH bolt plate, and the whole assembly held in place with what seemed to be an 8mm bash-in carrot. The one on the left was more substantial, and used a SS fixed hanger, an 8mm steel machine bolt, possibly a glue-in, and a DMM alloy biner. A strange mix, but then old anchors...

Cleanup of old hardware The Crown Urbanville

feeds@yuku.com (davereeve) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:59:51 GMT

When we rebolted the Crown last year we ran out of battery power to completely remove the old hardware. Last long weekend I got the opportunity between showers to ....
- cut the old chains off Easement, Urban Villian and Geabox Gastro.

I'm pretty sure the last remaining chains to be done are those for Weetbix Warrior (the ones that were in the drummy flake

New lower-offs on Prickles at KP

feeds@yuku.com (davereeve) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:53:04 GMT

Unfortunately the lower-offs I fitted on this climb some months ago belong to a type that has been shown to be dodgey. There was no big risk as they were fitted as a pair, but none-the-less I personally didn't want the responsibility for placing them there.

I have replaced them with Draco lower-offs from...
