Bundaleer is some of the softest rock in the Grampians and not suitable for tru bolts. The bolts that had serious problems in the Blue Mtns that led to the death of Nick Kaz were tru bolts. Just because a shop sells bolts doesn't mean those bolts are suitable for every type of rock. Manic Depressive was rebolted with dynabolts, and these were not good enough. Because of the steep angle, heavy dogging and soft rock they loosened up quickly. I suggest that glue in bolts are the only type suitable for high traffic Bundaleer routes. Long 12mm dynabolts would be OK for vertical routes with low traffic.
